We are given a random variable x which can take the values:

x = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6}

And we are required to calculate P( x ≤ 3 )

(Please note the question is missing the letter P)

The probability of having an element from x that is less or equal to 3 can be calculated individually by finding the probability of all the elements less or equal to 3, that is:

P(x=0) + P(x=1) + P(x=2) + P(x=3)

Note we must include the last term because x can also have the value of 3

Answer: The last choice as shown above
