A continuous random variable X has the probability density function fX(x) = xe^-x for x >= 0, 0 otherwise. Find the cumulative distribution function of X. Calculate the expectation and the variance of X. Determine the probability density function of X^2. Finally, suppose that X1 and X2 are two independent random variables, each with the probability density function fX(x). Determine the probability density function of X1 + X2.

Let X ~ Exp(λ), i.e. the random variable X follows the exponential distribution with parameter λ > 0. The probability density function f of the random variable X is defined for all x ∈ ℝ: f(x; λ) = { λ exp(-λx) if x ≥ 0 0 if x < 0 } 1. Find the cumulative distribution function F of the random variable X. 2. Compute Pr(0 ≤ X ≤ 5). 3. Compute the expectation of the random variable X. Find the variance & the standard deviation of the random variable X. 4. Find the median of the random variable X.
