8 The random variable \(X\) has probability density function f given by $$\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \begin{cases} 2 \mathrm { e } ^ { - 2 x } & x \geqslant 0
0 & \text { otherwise } \end{cases}$$
  1. Find the distribution function of \(X\).
  2. Find the median value of \(X\). The random variable \(Y\) is defined by \(Y = \mathrm { e } ^ { X }\).
  3. Find the probability density function of \(Y\).
