Please helpt to solve this. Can you handwrite the solution please? It helps to follow the steps properly. Thank you! 

**Problem 2: Discrete Random Variable Analysis** A random variable \(X\) that takes values in the set \(\{0, 1, 2, 3\}\) is described by the following probability mass function: - \(P_X(0) = \frac{1}{3}\) - \(P_X(1) = \frac{1}{9}\) - \(P_X(2) = \frac{2}{9}\) - \(P_X(3) = \frac{1}{3}\) Tasks: (a) Compute the expected value \(E(X)\). (b) Compute the standard deviation \(\sigma(X)\). (c) Compute the expected value of the cube of \(X\), denoted as \(E(X^3)\).
