I tried solving this, and I am pretty sure I am integrating this correctly, however, my solution manual shows -1 in the equation when doing this and I do not know why. The answer in the solution manual is correct.
Problem: Find the corresponding distribution function and use it to determine the probability that a random variable having the distribution function will take on a value between 0.4 and 1.6.
f(x) = x for 0 < x < 1
2-x for 1 <= x < 2
0 elsewhere
so for F(0.4 < x < 1.6) I did after integrating:
2(1.6) - [(1.6)^2 / 2] - [(0.4)^2 / 2] = 1.84
however the correct answer is 0.84. The solution manual has a -1 in their equation, but I do not know how they got it.
