State whether the function is a probability mass function or not. If not, explain why not. f(x) = 1/50 * x, for x = 5, 10, 15, 20 Select all that apply. A. The function f(x) is a probability mass function. B. The function f(x) is not a probability mass function because it does not satisfy the second condition of probability mass functions. C. The function f(x) is not a probability mass function because it does not satisfy the third condition of probability mass functions. D. The function f(x) is not a probability mass function because it does not satisfy the first condition of probability mass functions.
