Probability from a piecewise density with unknown power

Let XX be a random variable with the probability density function

f(x)={4xk,0<x<1, x−x22,1≤x<2, 0,otherwise,f(x)=\begin{cases}4x^k, & 0<x<1,\ x-\dfrac{x^2}2, & 1\le x<2,\ 0, & \text{otherwise,}\end{cases}

where kk is a positive integer. Then P(12<X<32)P\left(\frac12<X<\frac32\right) equals ____________ (round off to 2 decimal places)

Numerical answer: type the number (no options).

Type your answer and check it.
