(a) If <em>f(x)</em> is to be a proper density function, then its integral over the given support must evaulate to 1:
For the integral, substitute <em>u</em> = <em>x</em> ² and d<em>u</em> = 2<em>x</em> d<em>x</em>. Then as <em>x</em> → 0, <em>u</em> → 0; as <em>x</em> → ∞, <em>u</em> → ∞:
which reduces to
<em>c</em> / 2 (0 + 1) = 1 → <em>c</em> = 2
(b) Find the probability P(1 < <em>X </em>< 3) by integrating the density function over [1, 3] (I'll omit the steps because it's the same process as in (a)):

_____
The categories add to 100%, so are mutually exclusive, as you expect when they are "favorite sport" categories. Hence the union of two of them will be their sum. (Otherwise, you'd have to subtract the amount by which the categories overlap.)
