Let $X$ denote the number of hours you study on a Sunday. It is known that $P(X=x) = \begin{cases} 0.1 & \text{if } x=0 \\ kx & \text{if } x=1, 2 \\ k(5-x) & \text{if } x=3, 4 \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$ where $k$ is a constant. Then the probability that you study at least two hours on a Sunday is
