### Problem 3

The number of loaves of rye bread left on the shelf of a local bakery at closing (denoted by the random variable \( X \)) varies from day to day. Past records show that the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of \( X \) is as shown in the following table:

| \( X \)       | 0   | 1    | 2    | 3    | 4    | 5    | 6    |
|---------------|-----|------|------|------|------|------|------|
| \( P(X \leq x) \) | 0.20 | 0.45 | 0.65 | 0.80 | 0.90 | 0.98 | 1    |

(a) **Determine the probability mass function (pmf) of \( X \).**

(b) **Find the probability that there will be at least 3 loaves left over at the end of any given day.**

(c) **Find the mean number of loaves of rye left on the shelf at closing.**

(d) **Find the standard deviation of \( X \).**
