f (x) = 1.5 x (1 - x)

f (0.8) = 1.5 (0.8) (1 - 0.8) = 0.24

f (0.24) = 1.5 (0.24) (1 - 0.24) ~ = 0.274

f (0.274) = 1.5 (0.274) (1 - 0.274) ~ = 0.298

f (0.298) = 1.5 (0.298) (1 - 0.298) ~ = 0.314

f (0.314) = 1.5 (0.314) (1 - 0.314) ~ = 0.323

So the answer is D : 0.24, 0.274, 0.298, 0.314, 0.323
