Step 1

This is because the probability of a random variable being less than or equal to a certain value is equal to the sum of the probabilities of it being strictly less than that value and equal to that value. Show more…

P(x<=8)=P(x<8)+P(x=8) for only discrete distributions. for some discrete distributions but not all. for all distributions. for only continuous distributions. P(X < 8) =P(X < 8) + P(X =8) O for only discrete distributions. O for some discrete distributions but not all. O for all distributions. O for only continuous distributions.
