If the probability distribution of a discrete random variable $X$ is given by $P(X=k) = \frac{2^{-k}(3k+1)}{2^c}$ for $k = 0, 1, 2, \ldots, \infty$,then find the value of $P(X \leq c)$. Note: The expression provided in the prompt is likely $P(X=k) = \frac{(3k+1)}{2^{k+c}}$. Given $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} P(X=k) = 1$,we have $\frac{1}{2^c} \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} (3k+1) \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^k = 1$.

The value of the constant $c$,so that $P(x)=c\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{x}$,$x=1,2,3, \ldots$ is the probability distribution function of a discrete random variable $X$ is
