Question

The current in a certain circuit as measured by an ammeter is a continuous random variable X with the following density function. I have correctly solved a) it is b) and c) that I am looking for assistance in solving.
f(x) =  0.025x + 0.4            3 ≤ x ≤ 5
0        otherwise
(a) Graph the pdf. Verify that the total area under the density curve is indeed 1. 0.025x + 0.4 d 
(b) Calculate P(X ≤ 4). 
How does this probability compare to 
P(X < 4)?
P(X ≤ 4) < P(X < 4)
P(X ≤ 4) = P(X < 4)    
P(X ≤ 4) > P(X < 4)

c) Calculate 
P(3.5 ≤ X ≤ 4.5).
And
P(4.5 < X).
