player A gives player B $1, if the score is 5 or 6, player B

Example
A salesman has scheduled two appointments to sale
encyclopedias. His first appointment will lead to a sale
with pr 0.3 and his second sale will lead independently to
a sale with pr 0.6. Any sale made is equally likely to be
either for the deluxe model, which cost Rs 1000 or the
standard model with cost Rs 500. Determine the pmf of
X, the Rs vale of all the sales.
