4. The cdf of a discrete random variable X is given by:

𝑥(𝑥 + 1)(2𝑥 + 1)
𝐹(𝑥) = , 𝑥 = 1,2, … , 𝑛
𝑛(𝑛 + 1)(2𝑛 + 1)

When n=4, generate three values of X, using 𝑅1 = 0.83, 𝑅2 = 0.24, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑅3 = 0.57.

5. The details of time taken by a mechanic to repair a breakdown are

Develop a lookup table and generate five repair times using random numbers. Note that
the set of data represents a continuous empirical distribution.
