Problem 1
Which of the following correctly states the two defining properties of a probability density function (PDF) f(x) for a continuous random variable X?
A
f(x) can be negative if it integrates to 1 over its support, provided the negative regions are offset by larger positive regions so the net integral is 1
B
f(x) ≥ 0 for all x, and ∫_{-∞}^{∞} f(x) dx = 100 percent when probabilities are expressed as percentages (i.e., 100%), so the integral equals 100 rather than 1 if using percentage units
C
f(x) ≥ 0 for all x, and ∫_{-∞}^{∞} f(x) dx = 1
D
f(x) ≥ 0 for all x and F(x) = ∫_{-∞}^{x} f(t) dt must equal zero for x less than all possible outcomes
