In Newton-Raphson iterative method, the initial guess value $$\left( {{x_{ini}}} \right)$$ is considered as zero while finding the roots of the equation: $$\,f\left( x \right) = - 2 + 6x - 4{x^2} + 0.5{x^3}.\,\,\,$$ The correction, $$\Delta x,$$ to be added to $${{x_{ini}}}$$ in the first iteration is __________.

For step-size, $$\Delta x = 0.4,$$ the value of following integral using Simpson's $$1/3$$ rule 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?

The probability density function of a random variable, $$x$$ is $$$\matrix{ {f\left( x \right) = {x \over 4}\left( {4 - {x^2}} \right)} & {for\,\,0 \le x \le 2 = 0} \cr { = 0} & {otherwise} \cr } $$$
The mean, $${\mu _x}$$ of the random variable is __________.
