Step 1
1 of 2The function is given to us as :
To check whether it is a pdf or not, we first recall the conditions for a function to be a probability density function.
The function is a probability density function of a random variable in the interval [a, b] if it satisfies following two conditions :
Condition 1 : for all in the interval [a, b]
Condition 2 :
As we can see that for all in the interval , hence it satisfies condition-1
Now we check for condition-2 :
Since it does not satisfy condition-2, hence is not a probability density function on the indicated interval.
