The continuous random variable \(X\) has probability density function

\[f(x)=\begin{cases}\frac34x^2(2-x),&0\leq x\leq2,\\0,&\text{otherwise}.\end{cases}\]

  1. Find \(P(0.5\leq X<1.5)\).[2]
  2. The discrete random variable \(Y\) is the value of \(X\) rounded to the nearest integer. The probability distribution of \(Y\) is shown in the following table.[3]
    \(y\)012
    \(P(Y=y)\)\(a\)\(b\)\(c\)
    1. Write down the value of \(b\).
    2. Find the values of \(a\) and \(c\).
  3. Find \(E(Y)\).[2]
