If pdf of a curve X is `f(x)=ae^(-ax),xge0,agt0`
If `P(0ltXltK)=0.5` , then the k is equal to

A

`1/8`

B

`1/alog2`

C

`1/2log2`

D

`1/aloga`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Given `P(0ltXltK)=0.5`
`oversetKunderset0intf(x)dx=1/2rArroversetKunderset0intae^(-ax)dx=1/2`
`rArr" "a[e^(-ax)/(-a)]_0^K=1/2rArr-[e^(-ax)]_0^K=1/2`
`rArr" "-(e^(-aK)-e^0)=1/2rArr-e^(-aK)+1=1/2`
`rArr" "e^(-aK)=1/2rArr-ak=log(1/2)`
`rArr" "aK=log2rArrK=1/alog2`
