1. The probability density function (pdf) of a continuous random variable \( X \) is given as follows:

\[
f(x) = 
\begin{cases} 
0 & x < 0 \\
\frac{9}{4}x^2 & 0 \leq x < 1 \\
1 - \frac{x}{2} & 1 \leq x < 2 \\
0 & x \geq 2 
\end{cases}
\]

a. Determine the cumulative density function (cdf) of the random variable \( X \).

b. Compute the probability that \( X \) is less than or equal to 0.5.

c. Compute the probability that \( X \) is greater than or equal to 1.5.

d. Compute the probability that \( X \) is between 0.5 and 1.5.
