Variance: Var(X) = E(X^2) - [E(X)]^2.

E(X^2) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} x^2 \, f(x) \, dx = \int_0^1 x^2 \, 2 (1 - x) \, dx = \int_0^1 2x^2 (1 - x) \, dx = \, ....

(iii) You should do some research.
Regarding (iii):

1. Read this (well I think it's funny and it's something I didn't know): Urban Dictionary: grauniad

2. Read this regarding iii (c): Poisson distribution

3. Read this regarding iii (a): Poisson process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now read this: Poisson distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So which option does that leave ....?
