Probability that the square of a variable lies in an interval

Let XX be a continuous random variable with the probability density function

f(x)={x+12,−1<x<1, 0,otherwise.f(x)=\begin{cases}\frac{x+1}2, & -1<x<1,\ 0, & \text{otherwise.}\end{cases}

Then P(14<X2<12)=P\left(\frac14<X^2<\frac12\right)= ________________________

Numerical answer: type the number (no options).

Type your answer and check it.
