Use the Leading Coefficient Test to determine the right-hand and left-hand behavior of the graph of the polynomial function. $f(x)=2 x^{3}-3 x^{2}+x-1$

$$\begin{array} { c } {\text { calculate } \mu \text { and } \sigma , \text { where } \sigma \text { is the standard deviation} } \\ { \sigma ^ { 2 } = \int _ { - \infty } ^ { \infty } ( x - \mu ) ^ { 2 } p ( x ) d x } \end{array}$$

$$p ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { \pi \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } } \quad \text { on } ( - 1,1 )$$
