For 0≤x≤20\le x\le2, a function pp is given by p(x)=x2p(x)=x^{2}. For 2<x≤52<x\le5, pp is measured experimentally and the data are provided below; pp is assumed to be linear between these points. x: 2 3.5 5 p(x): 4 3 2 Estimate the average value of pp on [0,5][0,5]. Express your answer to the nearest thousandth.
