Please answer part c, d, and e ONLY. (Last 3 parts)

When a car breaks down, the time that it takes to fix it (in hours) is a random
variable X with the density function
f(x) = ce-4x, 0<x< ∞
= 0, otherwise
(a) Determine the value of c
(b) Find the CDF of X
(c) Using the PDF or the CDF of X, find the probability that when this car breaks
down, it takes more than 30 miutes to fix it.
(d)Using the method of transformation, find the probability density function of
Y = JX
(e) Calculate E (e*)
