5. When a muon decays, an electron is emitted at an angle 0 relative to the spin, such that theprobability density function of the angular distribution isdP = k(1+ax) dx,where x = cos 0 and a is a constant that must be determined experimentally. Find the valueof the constant k, and the mean and variance of the x distribution (in terms of a).

Find the constant kThe probability density function is given by:dP = k(1 + αx) dxSince this is a…
