3. Assume that 60% of cars driven into Dublin at rush hour have 1 occupant, 20% have two
occupants, 12% have three occupants, 6% have four occupants and the remainder have 5
occupants. Let X denote the number of occupants in a randomly selected car in Dublin
at rush hour.
(a) Tabulate the probability mass function of X.
(b) Tabulate the cumulative distribution function of X.
(c) Find P(X > 4) and P(X <3).
(d) Find the mean of X, the variance of X and the standard deviation of X.
