Consider a random experiment where a spinner is rotated, and the continuous random variable \( X \) represents the angle spun, measured in degrees, over the interval \([0, 360]\).
Determine the probability density function of \( X \).
Calculate \( P(90 \leq X \leq 180) \).
Calculate \( P(X \geq 60) \).
Calculate the expected value \( E(X) \).
\FieldText{1}{
\( f(x) = \frac{1}{360} \)
\(\begin{aligned}[t]P(90 \leq X \leq 180) &= \int_{90}^{180} \frac{1}{360} \, \mathrm{d}x \\ &= \left[ \frac{1}{360} x \right]_{90}^{180} \\ &= \frac{1}{4}\\\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}[t]P(X \geq 60) &= \int_{60}^{360} \frac{1}{360} \, \mathrm{d}x \\&= \left[ \frac{1}{360} x \right]_{60}^{360} \\&= \frac{5}{6}\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}[t]E(X) &= \frac{0+360}{2}\\&= 180 \\\end{aligned}\)
