The cumulative distribution function $F(X)$ of a discrete random variable $X$ is given by the following table:
$X$$1$$2$$3$$4$$5$$6$
$F(X=x)$$0.2$$0.37$$0.48$$0.62$$0.85$$1$

Then $P[X=4] + P[X=5] = $

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:

$A$ random variable $X$ has the range $\{0, 1, 2, \ldots\}$. If $P(X=r) = k(1+r) 3^{-r}$ for $r=0, 1, 2, \ldots$,where $k > 0$ is a real number,then $P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) =$
