6 The continuous random variable \(T\) has probability density function defined by $$\mathrm { f } ( t ) = \left\{ \begin{array} { c c } \frac { 1 } { 3 } & 0 \leq t \leq \frac { 3 } { 2 }
\frac { 9 - 2 t } { 18 } & \frac { 3 } { 2 } \leq t \leq \frac { 9 } { 2 }
0 & \text { otherwise } \end{array} \right.$$ 6
    1. Sketch this probability density function below.
