126 CHAPTER 5. CONTINUOUS PROBABILITY MODELS<br />

15. Suppose X has a uniform distribution on the interval (20,40), and we know that X is greater<br />

than 25. What is the probability that X is greater than 32?<br />

16. Suppose U and V have the 2t/15 density on (1,4). Let N denote the number <strong>of</strong> values among<br />

U and V that are greater than 1.5, so N is either 0, 1 or 2. Find Var(N).<br />

17. Find the value <strong>of</strong> E(X 4 ) if X has an N(0,1) distribution. (Give your answer as a number, not<br />

an integral.)
