Suppose that we have a discrete random variable Xa with PDF and CDF fa(x) and Fa(x), and a continuous random variable X. with PDF and CDF f.(x) and F.(x). Now we create a new random variable X in the following way. We have a coin with P(H) = p. We toss the coin once. If it lands heads, then the value of X is determined according to the probability distribution of X4. If the coin lands tails, the value of X is determined according to the probability distribution of Xe. This is called Mixed Random Variable formulation. Find E[X²].

Here is one way to think about a mixed random variable. Suppose that we have a discrete random variable Xa with (generalized) PDF and CDF fa(r) and Fa(x), and a continuous random variable X. with PDF and CDF f.(r) and F.(x).
