Let $X$ be a random variable, and let $P(X=x)$ denote the probability that $X$ takes the value $x$. Suppose that the points $(x, P(X=x)), x=0,1,2,3,4$, lie on a fixed straight line in the $x y$-plane, and $P(X=x)=0$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}-\{0,1,2,3,4\}$. If the mean of $X$ is $\frac{5}{2}$, and the variance of $X$ is $\alpha$, then the value of $24 \alpha$ is _____________.
