The p.d.f. of a continuous random variable $X$ is given by $f(x) = \frac{1}{2}$ if $0 < x < 2$ and $f(x) = 0$ otherwise. If $a = P(X < \frac{1}{2})$ and $b = P(X > \frac{3}{2})$,then the relation between $a$ and $b$ is:

  • A
    $a - b = 0$
  • B
    $2a - b = 0$
  • C
    $3a - b = 0$
  • D
    $a - 2b = 0$
