3. Let X be a continuous random variable that only takes on values in the interval [0,1]. The cumulative distribution function of X is given by: F(x) = 2x2 for 0 < x <1 (a) How do we know F(x) is a valid cumulative distribution function? (b) Use F(x) to compute P(Z < X < %)? (c) What is the probability density function of f (x).

1. Let X be a continuous random variable with probability density function: f(x) = 3/4 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 1/4 for 2 ≤ x ≤ 3 0 otherwise. (a) Determine the cumulative distribution function F(x) = P(X ≤ x). (b) Graph f(x) and F(x). (c) Determine the expected value of X: E[X]. (d) Determine the variance of X: V(X) = E[X²] - E[X]².
