For the c.d.f. $F(x) = 3x - 2x^3$ (from p.d.f. $f(x) = 3(1 - 2x^2)$ on $[0, 1]$), $F(0.5)$ equals:

A$1$
B$0$
C$2.0$
D$1.25$
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. $1.25$
$F(0.5) = 3(0.5) - 2(0.5)^3 = 1.5 - 2(0.125) = 1.5 - 0.25 = 1.25$. (Note: this exceeds 1, which signals a problem with the source p.d.f. — but the question is purely about evaluating the given $F$ formula.)
