Two bad eggs are mixed accidentally with $10$ good ones. If three eggs are drawn at random from this lot in succession without replacement,then the variance of the probability distribution of the number of bad eggs drawn is

If the probability distribution of a discrete random variable $X$ is given by $P(X=k) = \frac{2^{-k}(3k+1)}{2^c}$ for $k = 0, 1, 2, \ldots, \infty$,then find the value of $P(X \leq c)$. Note: The expression provided in the prompt is likely $P(X=k) = \frac{(3k+1)}{2^{k+c}}$. Given $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} P(X=k) = 1$,we have $\frac{1}{2^c} \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} (3k+1) \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^k = 1$.
