The correct answer is:
$\frac{1}{4}$
(C)
$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{x} \leq 2) &=\int_{0}^{2} \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) \mathrm{dx} \\ &=\int_{0}^{2} \frac{\mathrm{x}}{8} \mathrm{dx}=\frac{1}{8}\left[\frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}}{2}\right]_{0}^{2} \Rightarrow \frac{2^{2}}{16}-0=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{x} \leq 2) &=\int_{0}^{2} \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) \mathrm{dx} \\ &=\int_{0}^{2} \frac{\mathrm{x}}{8} \mathrm{dx}=\frac{1}{8}\left[\frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}}{2}\right]_{0}^{2} \Rightarrow \frac{2^{2}}{16}-0=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4} \end{aligned}$
