# The distribution function of a random variable is given byF(x)= {0 , for x<-1 {(x+1)/2 , for -1<x<1 {1 , for x≥1.Find P(3<x<4).

is such a probability distribution possible ? probability seems to be not bounded. is it a text book question? if P(3<x<4) = 1, that means x is only between 3 & 4. actually integral F(x) dx from - infinity to + infinity will be 1.

F(x)  =  {  0                for x<-1
{  (x+1)/2       for -1<x<1
{  1               for  x≥1
P(3<x<4) = integration from 3 to 4 of  F(x) dx
P(3<x<4) = integration from 3 to 4 of 1 dx
P(3<x<4) = limit from 3 to 4 of x
P(3<x<4) = (4-3) = 1
hence ,
P(3<x,4) = 1
