3. A man aiming at a target receives 10 points if his shot is within 1 inch of the target, 5 points if it is between 1 and 3 inches of the target, and 3 points if it is between 3 and 5 inches of the target. If his shot is further off, he receives no points. Compute the probability mass function for the number of points received if the distance from the shot to the target is randomly distributed with probability density function f(x) = for all 0 < x < 10.
