2. Let \( X \) be a random variable with the following density.

\[
f(x) = 
\begin{cases} 
c(1-x)^3 & \text{if } x \in (0,1), \\
0 & \text{otherwise}.
\end{cases}
\]

- (i) Find the constant \( c \) and then \( E(X) \) when \( X \) has the above density.
- (ii) Find \( E(X^2) \) when \( X \) has the above density.
- (iii) Find \( Std(X) \) when \( X \) has the above density.
