A quantity X has cumulative distribution function P(x) = 0.75x - x^2/8 for 0 <= x <= 4 and P(x) = 0 for x < 0 and P(x) = 1 for x > 4. Find the mean and median of X. Mean = 2/3 Median = 0.764

One of the histograms is a histogram of a sample (from a population with a skewed distribution) one is the distribution of many means of repeated random samples of size 5, and one is the distribution of repeated means of random samples of size $25 ;$ all the samples are from the same population.
