JEE Advanced 2024 Mathematics question on Probability

Let XX be a random variable, and let P(X=x)P(X=x) denote the probability that XX takes the value xx. Suppose that the points (x,P(X=x))(x, P(X=x)), x=0,1,2,3,4x = 0,1,2,3,4, lie on a fixed straight line in the xyxy-plane, and P(X=x)=0P(X=x) = 0 for all x∈R−{0,1,2,3,4}x \in \mathbb{R} - \{0,1,2,3,4\}. If the mean of XX is 52\frac{5}{2}, and the variance of XX is α\alpha, then the value of 24α24\alpha is _______.
