A video server sends a packet containing a video frame to a user. The packet is received correctly with probability p, in which case the server receives prompt acknowledgment. If it does not receive acknowledgment within a predefined interval of time T the server sends it again, and again after another T, etc., until acknowledgment is received. However, real-time streaming only allows up to six such attempts before the server must abandon this frame and move to the next one. Let random variable X be the number of attempts made by the server for a given video frame. Find the CDF FX(x).
