A continuous random variable $X$ is said to have a uniform distribution on the interval $[a, b]$ if the PDF has the $$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\frac{1}{b-a}, & \text { if } a \leq x \leq b \\0, & \text { otherwise }\end{array}\right.$$ (a) Find the probability that the value of $X$ is closer to $a$ than it is to $b$ (b) Find the expected value of $X$ (c) Find the CDF of $X$

Theoretical Exercises
Suppose that $X$ is uniformly distributed between 0 and $1 .$ Given $X=x, Y$ is uniformly distributed between 0 and $x^{2} .$ (a) Determine $E(Y | X=x)$ and then $\operatorname{Var}(Y \mathbb{X}=x)$ (b) Determine $f(x, y)$ using $f_{X}(x)$ and $f_{Y x}(y | x)$ (c) Determine $f_{v}(y)$
