Question in Content created by Newcastle University
Given a piecewise CDF $F_X(b)$ which is discontinuous at several points, find the probabilities at those points and also find the value of $F_X(b)$ at a continuous point and the expectation.
This cdf is a step function and is therefore the cdf of a discrete random variable. This should be stated somewhere in the statement or the solution. Apart from this the question is correct.

Question in Content created by Newcastle University
Three parts. A sample of size $n$ is taken from $N$ where $k$ of the items are known to be defective and the task is to find the probability that more than $m$ defectives are in the sample. First part is sampling with replacement (binomial), second is sampling without replacement, (hypergeometric) and the last part uses the Poisson approximation to the first part.
