Question
Let \( X \) be a finite random variable on \((\Omega, \mathcal{F}, P)\) (i.e., \( P(X = \infty) = P(X = -\infty) = 0\)). Show that its distribution function \( F_X \) satisfies the following properties:

(a) \( F_X \) is non-decreasing.

(b) \( \lim_{x \to -\infty} F_X(x) = 0 \), and \( \lim_{x \to \infty} F_X(x) = 1 \).
