Asked for help on part b, but it was rejected saying there is missing info however all the info is present.

Thanks!

i In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
The random variable Xhas probability distribution defined as follows.

x= 2,3,4, 5,
P(X= x) = 64
otherwise.

(a) Show that P(x= 2) =
The values of three independent observations of X are denoted by XI,.X and X,.
(b) Given that r, +X +I =9, determine the probability that at least one of these three values is
equal to 2.
Freda chooses values of X at random until she has obtained X = 2 exactly three times. She then
stops.
(c) Determine the probability that she chooses exactiy 10 values of X.
