Expert Solution
Step 1 Probability mass function

The probability mass function of a random variable is defined on the range of the random variable, and the range of the probability mass function is over to the real number line. 

The probability mass function, should sum over to 1 over the range of the random variable. 

The probability mass function cannot take negative values for any x.
