please show all work by hand
c: For the distribution (given in equation form below): a) Calculate the value of k (hint: what must be true about the total probability for any probability distribution covering all possible value of x ?). b) Calculate the distribution mean ? and variance ?2. c) Sketch the probability distribution and the cumulative probability distribution. The cumulative probability distribution is the sum of probabilities from the least value to the greatest, so for each value of x, what is the "accumulated" proabability: for x=1, the probability is as stated, for x=2 you are calculating the p(x?2), for x=3 calculate p(x?3), etc. p(x)=????4k,10k,6k,?x=1x=2x=3?
