Hello, I am having trouble with this homework 

Suppose E(X)
= 4 and E[X(X – 1)] = 26.5.
-
(a) What is E(X2)? [Hint: First verify that E[X(X – 1)] = E[X² – X] = E(X²) – E(X).]
(b) What is V(X)?
(c) What is the general relationship among the quantities E(X), E[X(X – 1)], and V(X)?
V(X) = E[X(X – 1)] – E(X) + [E(X)]?
O v(X) = E[X(X – 1)] + E(X) + [E(X)]?
V(X) = E[X(X – 1)] – E(X) – [E(X)]?
V(X) = E[X(X – 1)] + E(X) – [E(X)]²
