Probability density functions can be weighted so that different properties of the distribution can be enhanced or diminished. For instance, if a set of test scores is to be used in comparing the highest performers in a class, one might want to use a pdf, , in which the probability of finding a certain score, f(x) , is multiplied by that score:
. A mean found using the weighted pdf might be called a score-weighted mean. Find the score-weighted mean for an exam for which the probability of finding a score
is given by the function
. You will need to construct the weighted pdf then use it to find the mean score.
A) 66.7
B) 60.0
C) 50.0
D) 75.0
