Explain into detial and show all steps for me to understand how to do it by myself please. Thank you.

1. The radius \( R \) of a certain disk is a continuous random variable with pdf \( f_R(r) = \frac{3r^2}{125} \), where \( 0 < R < 5 \).

(a) What is the probability that \( 3 < R < 4 \)?

There is a diagram of a circle with center at the origin (0,0) and radius \( R \). The point on the circumference at (R,0) is marked.

(b) Find and simplify a formula for the cdf \( F_R(r) \) of the random variable \( R \).

(c) What is the expected value \( E(R) \)?
