Question
An number cube (a fair die) is rolled 3 times. For each roll, we are interested in whether the roll comes up even or odd. An outcome is represented by a string of
the sort o ee (meaning an odd number on the first roll, an even number on the second roll, and an even number on the third roll).
For each outcome, let N be the random variable counting the number of even rolls in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is ooo, then N (00o) = 0.
Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of N as follows: X= 2N"-2N-3. The values of X are given in the table below.

Calculate the probabilities P(X=x) of the probability distribution of X. First, fill in the first row with the values of X. Then fill in the appropriate probablities in
the second row.
