4. Suppose a particular state allows individuals filing tax returns to itemize deductions only if the total of all itemized deductions is at least $5000. Let X (in 1000s of dollars) be the total of itemized deductions on a randomly chosen form. Assume that X has the pdf f(x; a) 5 5 kyxa x $ 5 0 otherwise a. Find the value of k. What restriction on a is necessary? b. What is the cdf of X? c. What is the expected total deduction on a randomly chosen form? What restriction on a is necessary for E(X) to be finite? d. Show that ln(X/5) has an exponential distribution with parameter a 2 1.

If its non of them tell me..valerie took a day-trip. she drove from her house for a while and took a coffee break. after her coffee break, she continued driving. after  2  hours of driving after her coffee break, her distance from her house was  210  miles. her average speed during the whole trip was  60  miles per hour. valerie created the equation  y−210=60(x−2)  to represent this situation, where  xx  represents the time in hours from her coffee break and  yy  represents the distance in miles from her house. which graph correctly represents valerie's distance from her house after her coffee break?
