This will be involving the rolling of a die. Assume that the die is weighted so that the probability of a 1 is 0.1, the probability of a 2 is 0.2, the probability of a 3 is 0.1, the probability of a 4 is 0.1, the probability of a 5 is 0.3, and the probability of a 6 is 0.2. You roll the die until the sum of all numbers which have appeared exceeds 3. A random variable XX is defined to be the number of rolls. A. How many different values are possible for the random variable X? (Answer: 4) B. Fill in the table below to complete the probability density function. Be certain to list the values of X in ascending order.
