Computing E(X)E(X) for a mixed distribution: two atoms plus a continuous piece

Suppose a distribution function F:R→[0,1]F:\mathbb{R}\to[0,1] of a random variable X is as follows: F(x)=0F(x)=0 if x<−2x<-2; 1/31/3 if −2≤x<0-2\le x<0; 1/21/2 if 0≤x<50\le x<5; 1/2+(x−5)2/21/2+(x-5)^2/2 if 5≤x<65\le x<6; 11 if x≥6x\ge6. Then E(X)E(X) is:
