If the probability that the random variable $X$ takes values $x$ is given by $P(X = x) = k(x + 1)3^{-x}$ for $x = 0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots$,where $k$ is a constant,then $P(X \geq 2)$ is equal to

The p.m.f of a random variable $X$ is $P(X=x)=\frac{1}{2^5}\binom{5}{x}$,where $x=0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5$ and $P(X=x)=0$ otherwise. Then:

The value of the constant $c$,so that $P(x)=c\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{x}$,$x=1,2,3, \ldots$ is the probability distribution function of a discrete random variable $X$ is

In a box,there are $20$ cards,out of which $10$ are labelled as $A$ and the remaining $10$ are labelled as $B$. Cards are drawn at random,one after the other and with replacement,until a second $A$-card is obtained. The probability that the second $A$-card appears before the third $B$-card is

The range of a random variable $X$ is $\{1, 2, 3, \ldots\}$ and $P(X=x) = \frac{c^x}{x!}$ for $x = 1, 2, 3, \ldots$. Then the value of $c$ is
