A continuous random variable has a probability density function of f(x) = 2x² for 0 < x≤ 2 and is equal to 0 for other values. Another continuous random variable has a probability density function of f (y) = 1/(2√y) for 0 ≤ y ≤ 1 and is equal to 0 for other values. Calculate var(X) and var(Y).

On a production line, parts are produced with a certain average size, but the exact size of each part varies due to the imprecision of the production process. Suppose that the difference between the size of the pieces produced (in millimeters) and the average size, which we will call production error, can be modeled as a continuous random variable X with a probability density function given by f(x) = 2, 5e^(-5|x|), for x E R (is in the image). Parts where the production error is less than -0.46 mm or greater than 0.46 mm should be discarded. Calculate (approximating to 4 decimal places): a) What is the proportion of parts that the company discards in its production process? b) What is the proportion of parts produced where the production error is positive? c) Knowing that for a given part the production error is positive, what is the probability of this part being discarded?
