If $X$ is a Poisson variate such that $\alpha = P(X=1) = P(X=2)$, then $P(X=4)$ is equal to

The cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) $F(x)$ associated with the probability density function (p.d.f.) $f(x) = 3(1 - x^2)$ for $0 < x < 1$ and $f(x) = 0$ otherwise,is given by $F(x) = k(x - \frac{2x^3}{k})$. Find the value of $k$.

If the probability distribution of a discrete random variable $X$ is given by $P(X=k) = \frac{2^{-k}(3k+1)}{2^c}$ for $k = 0, 1, 2, \ldots, \infty$,then find the value of $P(X \leq c)$. Note: The expression provided in the prompt is likely $P(X=k) = \frac{(3k+1)}{2^{k+c}}$. Given $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} P(X=k) = 1$,we have $\frac{1}{2^c} \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} (3k+1) \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^k = 1$.

The probability distribution of a random variable $X$ is given by the following table:
