8 The continuous random variable \(X\) has probability density function \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) It is given that \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = x ^ { 2 }\) for \(0 \leq x \leq 1\)
It is also given that \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) is a linear function for \(1 < x \leq \frac { 3 } { 2 }\)
For all other values of \(x , \mathrm { f } ( x ) = 0\) A sketch of the graph of \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\) is shown below.
