Question
**Problem 4**

The probability density function (pdf) of \( X \) is given by:

\[ 
f(x) = \frac{4}{243}(27 - x^3) \quad \text{for } 0 < x < 3, \text{ and } 0 \text{ otherwise}.
\]

**Tasks:**

a) Calculate \( P(1 < X < 2) \).

b) Determine \( E(X) \), the expected value of \( X \).

c) Find the third moment of \( X \).

d) Compute \( E[X(2X^2 - 3) + 10] \).

In this problem, you will explore the properties of the given pdf over a specified range and compute various statistical measures by integration.

Step 1: Understanding the problem

As per the Bartleby guildlines we have to solve first three subparts and rest can be reposted.


The pdf of X 

f(x)=4/243(27-x3)        for 0<x<3 

0                                   Otherwise 

We have to find

a.. P(1<X<2)

b.. E(X) 

c.. Third moment of X
