Question
The life \( X \) (in years) of a voltage regulator of a car has the probability density function (pdf)

\[ f(x) = cx^2 e^{-\left(\frac{x}{7}\right)^3}, \quad x > 0 \]

**(a)** Find \( c \).

**(b)** Find the Interquartile Range (IQR).

**(c)** Given that it has lasted at least 7 years, what is the conditional probability that it will last at least another 3.5 years?

If the moment-generating function of a random variable \( W \) is

\[ M(t) = (1 - 7t)^{-20}, \]

find the pdf, mean, variance, and mode of \( W \).
