15.2.8 One dimensional random variables and their characteristics
Problem:
The random variable \( \xi \) is given by the density of the distribution \( P_{\xi}(x) \). The random variable \( \eta \) is the area of a regular triangle with side \( \xi \). For the random variable \( \eta \) find the distribution function, the density of the distribution, the expected value and the dispersion, where
\[
\begin{array}{l}
P_{\xi}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}
\frac{2(x-a)}{(b-a)^{m}}, \quad x \in[a, b], \\
0, \quad x \notin[a, b]
\end{array}\right. \\
a=2, \quad b=4, \quad m=2 .
\end{array}
\]
