Let x be a uniformly distributed continuous random variable


Let X be a uniformly distributed continuous random variable ranging between 5 and 8, X ~ U[5 , 8]. Variable Y is a function of X: Y: h(X)= 2X^2+1

a. Determine the PDF of Y.
b. Find the expected value of Y.
c. Find the variance of Y.
d. Find the probability of Y > 100? Note that P(Y>y) = P(X=x) where y = h(x).
e. What is the first order approximation for the mean (expected value) of Y?
