(C) The given probability mass function is $P(X=x) = \frac{\binom{5}{x}}{2^5}$ for $x \in \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$.Calculating the probabilities:$P(X=0) = \frac{\binom{5}{0}}{32} = \frac{1}{32}$,$P(X=1) = \frac{\binom{5}{1}}{32} = \frac{5}{32}$,$P(X=2) = \frac{\binom{5}{2}}{32} = \frac{10}{32}$,$P(X=3) = \frac{\binom{5}{3}}{32} = \frac{10}{32}$,$P(X=4) = \frac{\binom{5}{4}}{32} = \frac{5}{32}$,$P(X=5) = \frac{\binom{5}{5}}{32} = \frac{1}{32}$.Now evaluate the options:$A$. $P(X \leq 1) = P(0) + P(1) = \frac{1+5}{32} = \frac{6}{32}$ and $P(X \geq 4) = P(4) + P(5) = \frac{5+1}{32} = \frac{6}{32}$. Thus,$P(X \leq 1) = P(X \geq 4)$ is true.$B$. $P(X \leq 2) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) = \frac{1+5+10}{32} = \frac{16}{32} = 0.5$. $P(X \geq 4) = \frac{6}{32} = 0.1875$. Since $0.5 \geq 0.1875$,this is true.$C$. $P(X \leq 3) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3) = \frac{1+5+10+10}{32} = \frac{26}{32} = 0.8125$. $P(X \geq 3) = P(3) + P(4) + P(5) = \frac{10+5+1}{32} = \frac{16}{32} = 0.5$. Since $0.8125 \leq 0.5$ is false,option $C$ is not true.$D$. $P(X \leq 2) = \frac{16}{32} = 0.5$ and $P(X \geq 3) = \frac{16}{32} = 0.5$. Thus,$P(X \leq 2) = P(X \geq 3)$ is true.

$X=x$	$0$	$1$	$2$	$3$	$4$
$P(X=x)$	$\frac{1}{3}$	$\frac{1}{2}$	$0$	$\frac{1}{6}$	$0$
