Question

Let X be a real-valued random variable such that its probability distribution $P_X$ is given by $P_X(A) := Geom(p)(A \cap \mathbb{N}_0)$ for all $A \in \mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R})$, where $p \in (0, 1)$. Find a formula for its cumulative distribution function $F_X$, and determine, with proof, whether $F_X$ is continuous on $\mathbb{R}$.

Please provide a formal detailed proof. Let X be a real-valued random variable such that its probability distribution P_X is given by P_X(A) = P(X ∈ A) for all A ∈ B_R where p ∈ [0,1]. Find a formula for its cumulative distribution function F_X and determine, with proof, whether F_X is continuous on R.
