pdf(x)=1/(x ln(1.5)) for 4<=x<=6, pdf(x)=0 elsewhere.
Trying to find the median, which is supposed to be F(x)=.5. F(x) (as far as I know) is the integral of f(x), so in this case, is ln(x)/ln(1.5). When I solve ln(x)/ln(1.5)=.5 though, I get 1.2247, which is outside the range of possible values (4 to 6).
What have I done wrong? And did whatever I did wrong affect my attempt to find expected value (I got 4.93, which I think is correct)?
