Let \( X \) be the amount of time (in hours) the wait is to get a table at a restaurant. Suppose the cumulative distribution function (cdf) is represented by

\[
F(x) = 
\begin{cases} 
0 & x < 0 \\ 
\frac{x^2}{4} & 0 \leq x \leq 2 \\ 
1 & x > 2 
\end{cases}
\]

Use the cdf to determine \( P(0.5 \leq X \leq 1) \).
