F,g,h
Let \( X \) denote the amount of time a book on two-hour reserve is actually checked out, and suppose the cumulative distribution function (cdf) is the following:

\[
F(x) = 
\begin{cases} 
0 & x < 0 \\
x^2/16 & 0 \leq x < 4 \\
1 & 4 \leq x 
\end{cases}
\]

Use the cdf to obtain the following. (If necessary, round your answer to four decimal places.)

(a) Calculate \( P(X \leq 3) \).

\[
0.5625
\]

(b) Calculate \( P(2.5 \leq X \leq 3) \).

\[
0.1719
\]

(c) Calculate \( P(X > 3.5) \).

\[
0.2344
\]
