7. A continuous random variable \(X\) has a probability density function given by
$$\begin{array} { l l }
\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 312 } & 4 \leq x \leq 10
\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 0 & \text { otherwise. }
\end{array}$$
- Find \(\mathrm { E } ( X )\).
- Find the variance of \(X\).
- Find the cumulative distribution function \(\mathrm { F } ( x )\), for all values of \(x\).
- Hence find the median value of \(X\).
- Write down the modal value of \(X\).
It is sometimes suggested that, for most distributions,
$$2 \times ( \text { median } - \text { mean } ) \approx \text { mode } - \text { median } .$$
- Show that this result is not satisfied in this case, and suggest a reason why.
