\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{5dfbc896-528c-40a6-a296-8a0aae90add4-10_451_469_255_799} The diagram shows the graph of the probability density function, f , of a random variable \(X\). The graph is a quarter circle entirely in the first quadrant with centre \(( 0,0 )\) and radius \(a\), where \(a\) is a positive constant. Elsewhere \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 0\).
  1. Show that \(a = \frac { 2 } { \sqrt { \pi } }\).
  2. Show that \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \sqrt { \frac { 4 } { \pi } - x ^ { 2 } }\).
  3. Show that \(\mathrm { E } ( X ) = \frac { 8 } { 3 \sqrt { \pi ^ { 3 } } }\).
