Solution
Let X be the random variable denotes the total score in two thrown of a die.
Sample space S

n(S) = 36
X = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}

| Number of elements in inverse image | 1 | 4 | 10 | 12 | 9 | 36 |
Cumulative distribution function
F(x) = P(X ≤ x)
= `sum_(x_"i" ≤ x) "P"("X" = x_"i")`
F(2) = P(X < 2)
= P(X < 2) + P(X = 2)
= `0 + 1/36`
= `1/36`
F(4) = `"P"("X" ≤ 4)`
= P(X <2) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 4)
= `0+ 1/36 + 4/36`
= `5/36`
F(6) = `"P"("X" ≤ 6)`
= P(X < 2) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 6)
= `0 + 11/36+ 4/36 + 10/36`
= `15/36`
F(8) = P(X ≤ 8)
= P(X < 2) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 8)
= `0 + 1/6 + 4/36 + 10/36 + 12/36`
= `27/36`
F(10) = P(X ≤ 10)
= P(X < 2) + P(X = 2) + P(x = 8) + P(X = 10)
= `0 + 1/36 + 4/36 + 10/36 + 12/36 + 9/36`
= `36/36`
= 1
F(x) = `{{:(0",", "For" - oo < x < 2),(1/36",", "For" 2 ≤ x ≤ 4),(5/36",", "For" 4 ≤ x < 6),(15/36",", "For" 6 ≤ x < 8),(27/36",", "For" 8 ≤ x < 10),(1",", "For" 10 ≤ x < oo):}`
