303.1. Assume a continuous probability density function (pdf) is given by f(x) =a*x such that 0 ≤ x ≤ 12, where a is a constant (we can retrieve this constant, knowing this is a probability density function):



What is the mean of (x)?

1. 5.5
2. 6.0
3. 8.0
4. 9.3

303.2. Assume a continuous probability density function (pdf) be given by f(x) = a*x^2 such that 0 ≤ x ≤ 3, where a is a constant (that we can find).



Let us arbitrarily define the unexpected loss (UL) as the difference between this distribution's mean and its 5.0% quantile function; i.e., UL(X) = mean (X) - inverse CDF(5%)(X). We could call this a 95% relative VaR since it is relative to the mean. What is this UL?

1. 0.62
2. 1.14
3. 2.05
4. 3.37

303.3. Assume the following probability density function (pdf) for a random variable X:



What is the variance of X?

1. 2.0
2. 3.3
3. 4.1
4. 5.7
