Help me answer questions B & C
![**(b)** Calculate \( P(X \leq 4) \).
[Input box for answer]
How does this probability compare to \( P(X < 4) \)?
- \( P(X \leq 4) > P(X < 4) \)
- \( P(X \leq 4) < P(X < 4) \)
- \( P(X \leq 4) = P(X < 4) \)
**(c)** Calculate \( P(3.5 \leq X \leq 4.5) \).
[Input box for answer]
Calculate \( P(4.5 < X) \).

![The current in a certain circuit as measured by an ammeter is a continuous random variable \( X \) with the following density function:
\[
f(x) =
\begin{cases}
0.05x + 0.3 & \text{for } 3 \leq x \leq 5 \\
0 & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
\]
This function describes the probability density of measuring a particular current, \( x \), within the specified range. For values of \( x \) less than 3 or greater than 5, the probability density is zero, meaning such measurements are not possible under this model.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/af2a9245-87db-4e54-b147-768ccba693e7/002971ae-f4e7-4b9e-9456-4d548e3157ac/3egbhtq_thumbnail.png)
