A shipment of 7 television sets contains 2 defective sets. A hotel makes a random purchase of 3 of the sets. The probability distribution of X, where x is the number of defective sets purchased by the hotel, is shown below. Find the cumulative distribution function of the random variable X. Then, using F(x), find (a) P(X= 1); (b) P(0 < x≤2). X f(x) 027 1 4 2 4 1 7
