a) Evaluate the cdf given with the limits 0 < x < 3.
So, P (x <= 3 ) = (x^2 / 25) | 0 to 3
P (x <= 3 ) = (3^2 / 25) - 0
P (x <= 3 ) = 0.36
b) Evaluate the cdf given with the limits 2.5 < x < 3.
So, P ( 2.5 <= x <= 3 ) = (x^2 / 25) | 2.5 to 3
P ( 2.5 <= x <= 3 ) = (3^2 / 25) - (2.5^2 / 25)
P ( 2.5 <= x <= 3 ) = 0.36 - 0.25 = 0.11
c) Evaluate the cdf given with the limits x > 3.5
So, P (x > 3.5 ) = 1 - P (x <= 3.5 )
P (x > 3.5 ) = 1 - (3.5^2 / 25) - 0
P (x > 3.5 ) = 1 - 0.49 = 0.51
