(A) Step $1$: Find the value of $k$ using the property $\int_{0}^{1} f(x) dx = 1$.$\int_{0}^{1} k(x - x^2) dx = k [\frac{x^2}{2} - \frac{x^3}{3}]_{0}^{1} = k(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}) = k(\frac{1}{6}) = 1 \implies k = 6$.Step $2$: Use the condition $P(X > a) = \frac{20}{27}$.$P(X > a) = \int_{a}^{1} 6(x - x^2) dx = \frac{20}{27}$.$6 [\frac{x^2}{2} - \frac{x^3}{3}]_{a}^{1} = \frac{20}{27}$.$6 [(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}) - (\frac{a^2}{2} - \frac{a^3}{3})] = \frac{20}{27}$.$6 [\frac{1}{6} - \frac{a^2}{2} + \frac{a^3}{3}] = \frac{20}{27}$.$1 - 3a^2 + 2a^3 = \frac{20}{27}$.$2a^3 - 3a^2 + 1 - \frac{20}{27} = 0 \implies 2a^3 - 3a^2 + \frac{7}{27} = 0$.$54a^3 - 81a^2 + 7 = 0$.Testing $a = \frac{1}{3}$: $54(\frac{1}{27}) - 81(\frac{1}{9}) + 7 = 2 - 9 + 7 = 0$.Thus,$a = \frac{1}{3}$ is the correct solution.

$x = x_{i}$	$0$	$1$	$2$
$P_{i}$	$\frac{25}{36}$	$\frac{5}{18}$	$\frac{1}{36}$
