Step 1: Determine the value of .
For a cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a discrete random variable, the probability of the last value must be 1.
Given .
This shows that .
Step 2: Find in terms of .
For a discrete random variable, is the sum of probabilities for values from to .
The given table provides the cumulative distribution function .
Therefore, is equivalent to , since 1 is the smallest value can take.
From the table, .
Using the value of :
Step 3: Construct the probability mass function (PMF) using .
The values of with are:
Now, calculate the individual probabilities :
The PMF is:
| 1 | |
| 2 | |
| 4 | |
| 5 |
Step 4: Calculate .
Step 5: Calculate .
First, calculate :
