Suppose that the random variable X measures the thickness of the paint
in millimeters at a randomly chosen point on a randomly chosen car
panel, and that X takes values between 0.125 and 0.5 mm with a
probability density function of
512
f (x) %3 0.5 - (х - 0.25))
93
for 0.125 <x <0.5
What is the expected or average paint thickness?
