A random variable (RV), x is distributed with a pdf as follows:

fX(x) = [C × x × (1 – x)]       0 ≤ x ≤ a            (C and a are constants)

         = 0                                otherwise

Hence, determine the following: (i) C; (ii) cumulative probability of x in the range, [(u × a) ≤ x ≤ (v × a)]; where u and v are fractions; (iii) E[x]; (iv) second moment of x ; and, (v) standard deviation of x. Assume: a = 1, u = 0.5 and v = 0.75

Hence, choose the correct set of answers in the multiple-choices listed:
