When an unfair dice is thrown,the probability of getting a number $k$ on it is $P(X=k)=k^2 P$,where $k=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$ and $X$ is the random variable denoting a number on the dice,then the mean of $X$ is

The p.m.f. of a random variable $X$ is given by $P(X=x) = \begin{cases} \frac{\binom{5}{x}}{2^5}, & x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$. Then which of the following is not correct?

If a random variable $X$ follows a Poisson distribution such that $P(X=1) = 3P(X=2)$, then $P(X=3) =$

The cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) $F(x)$ of a discrete random variable $X$ is given by the following table:
