A game is played using a four-sided wooden top, with one of four letters on each face, A, B, C, or D. Players compete for a pot of tokens. A player spins tho top and takes one of the following actions, depending on which letter faces up. • If A faces up, the player neither adds nor subtracts tokens from the pot. • If B faces up, the player wins the entire pot of tokens. • If C faces up, the player wins half of the tokens in the pot, rounding up if the number is odd. • If D faces up, the player adds a token to the pot. Assume that each face of the top is equally likely to face upward and that the pot holds 32 tokens. Let the random variable X be the amount of tokens won by a player.

Question
A game is played using a four-sided wooden top, with one of four letters on each face, A, B, C, or D. Players compete for a pot of tokens. A player spins the top and
takes one of the following actions, depending on which letter faces up.
• If A faces up, the player neither adds nor subtracts tokens from the pot.
• If B faces up, the player wins the entire pot of tokens.
• If C faces up, the player wins half of the tokens in the pot, rounding up if the number is odd.
• If D faces up, the player adds a token to the pot.
Assume that each face of the top is equally likely to face upward and that the pot holds 32 tokens. Let the random variable X be the amount of tokens won by a player.
Thus, the range of X is (-1,0,16,32). Let the probability mass function be f(x) = P(X= x) and the cumulative probability function be F(x)= P(XSx). Find f(19) and F(19).
First, find the probability mass function f(x).
1x) = O
(Type an ordered pair. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
Now find f(19).
f(19) = (Simplify your answer.)
Find the cumulative probability function F(x) = P(XSx). Choose the correct answer below.
