10 The continuous random variable \(X\) has probability density function f given by
$$f ( x ) = \begin{cases} \frac { 1 } { 2 } & 1 \leqslant x \leqslant 3
0 & \text { otherwise } \end{cases}$$
The random variable \(Y\) is defined by \(Y = X ^ { 3 }\). Find the distribution function of \(Y\).
Sketch the graph of the probability density function of \(Y\).
Find the probability that \(Y\) lies between its median value and its mean value.
