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