For the function $$\,f\left( x \right) = a + bx,0 \le x \le 1,\,\,$$ to be a valid probability density function, which one of the following statements is correct?

If $$f(x)$$ and $$g(x)$$ are two probability density functions, $$$f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{x \over a} + 1} & : & { - a \le x < 0} \cr { - {x \over a} + 1} & : & {0 \le x \le a} \cr 0 & : & {otherwise} \cr } } \right.$$$ $$$g\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ { - {x \over a}} & : & { - a \le x < 0} \cr {{x \over a}} & : & {0 \le x \le a} \cr 0 & : & {otherwise} \cr } } \right.$$$

Which of the following statements is true?

Consider the following probability mass function (p.m.f) of a random variable $$X.$$ $$$p\left( {x,q} \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ q & {if\,X = 0} \cr {1 - q} & {if\,X = 1} \cr 0 & {otherwise} \cr } } \right.$$$
$$q=0.4,$$ the variance of $$X$$ is _______.

Four cards are randomly selected from a pack of $$52$$ cards. If the first two cards are kings, what is the probability that the third card is a king?
