The continuous random variable \(X\) has probability density function given by
\[f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}
\frac{1}{20}\left(3-\frac{1}{\sqrt{ } x}\right) & 1 \leqslant x \leqslant 9 \\
0 & \text { otherwise } .
\end{array}\right.\]

The random variable \(Y\) is defined by \(Y=\sqrt{ } X\).
(i) Show that the probability density function of \(Y\) is given by
\[g(y)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}
\frac{1}{10}(3 y-1) & 1 \leqslant y \leqslant 3, \\
0 & \text { otherwise } .
\end{array}\right.\]
(ii) Find the mean value of \(Y\).
