1) Let X be a continuous random variable. What is true about fX(x)fX(x)? fX(2) is a probability. fX(2) is a set. It can only take values between 0 and 1 as input. fX(2) is a number. 2) Let X be a continuous random variable. What is true about FX(x)FX(x)? FX(x) is a strictly increasing function. It decreases to zero as x→∞x→∞. FX(2) is a probability. FX(x) can be any real number.
