(Step-by-Step) Let the continuous random variable X have the following PDF.


Question: Let the continuous random variable \(X\) have the following PDF.

\[f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} \lambda^{2} \cdot x \cdot e^{-\lambda x}, \quad x \geq 0 \\ 0 \quad \text { otherwise } \end{array} \quad \text { for some } \lambda>0\right.\]
  1. Verify that this does define a PDF.
  2. Find \(\mathrm{E}(\mathrm{X})\).
  3. Find \(\operatorname{Var}(\mathrm{X})\).

Hint: use integration by parts
