Erdős Problem #50 — Differentiability of the distribution function of φ(n)/n\varphi(n)/n

Erdős

A more serious problem states as follows: Schoenberg proved about 70 years ago that φ(n)\varphi(n) has a distribution function. In other words the density of the integers for which φ(n)/n<c\varphi(n)/n < c exists for every cc (0c10 \leq c \leq 1). I proved that the distribution function is purely singular. Denote the distribution function by f(x)f(x). Is it true that for no xx can f(x)f(x) have a finite positive derivative? (250 dollars for a proof or disproof.)
