Let X be a gamma(θ = 3, α = 4) random variable. Use Chebyshev's inequality to determine (a) A lower bound for P(5 < X < 19). (b) An upper bound for P(|X - 12| ≥ 18).

If $X$ is a random variable such that $E(X)=3$ and $E\left(X^{2}\right)=13$, use Chebyshev's inequality to determine a lower bound for the probability $P(-2<$ $X<8)$

Find the expected value, the variance, and the standard deviation, when they exist, for each probability density function. $$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}{\frac{x^{3}}{12}} & {\text { if } 0 \leq x \leq 2} \\ {\frac{16}{3 x^{3}}} & {\text { if } x>2}\end{array}\right.$$
