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.

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.
