It is given that the graph is symmetrical about the line \(x = 1\). Between \(x = - 1\) and \(x = 3\) the graph is a quadratic curve. The random variable \(S\) is such that \(\mathrm { E } ( S ) = 2 \times \mathrm { E } ( X )\) and \(\operatorname { Var } ( S ) = \operatorname { Var } ( X )\).

1. On the grid below, sketch a quadratic graph for the probability density function of \(S\).

2. On the grid below, sketch a quadratic graph for the probability density function of \(T\).

   0 & \text { otherwise } \end{cases}$$
3. Given that \(\mathrm { P } ( 1 - a < X < 1 + a ) = 0.5\), show that \(a ^ { 3 } - 12 a + 8 = 0\).
4. Hence verify that \(0.69 < a < 0.70\).
