 Solution

Keep $a$ general initially, since the final part does not explicitly fix it. For $-h\le y\le h$, where $h=\pi /6$, the cumulative distribution function isThe normalization constant in the probability density function of $Y$ must beEquivalently, the integrated cumulative distribution function on a bounded interval identity gives $M=h-\mathbb{E}[X]$. If the assumption $a=0$ from part (c) is retained, the requested special case is $\boxed{M=\pi /6}$. For the value $a=1$ in part (b), it is $M=\pi /6-{\pi }^3/324$.
