    If the probability density function of a random variable X is \[f(x)=\frac{x}{2}\] in \[0\le x\le 2,\]then \[P(X>1.5\left| X>1 \right.)\] is equal to :

    A)  \[\frac{7}{16}\]

    B)  \[\frac{3}{4}\]

    C)  \[\frac{7}{12}\]

    D)  \[\frac{21}{64}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\because \] \[f(x)=\frac{x}{2}\] \[(0\le x\le 2)\] Now, \[P(x>1.5)=\int_{1.5}^{2}{\frac{x}{2}dx}\]     \[=0.4375\] and \[P(x>1)=\int_{1}^{2}{\frac{x}{2}dx}=0.75\] Hence, \[P\left( \frac{X>1.5}{X>1} \right)=\frac{P(X>1.5)}{P(X>1)}\]        \[=\frac{0.4375}{0.75}=\frac{7}{12}\]
