Suppose X is a random variable that takes on only nonnegative integer values, with E[X]=1, E[X²]=2, and E[X³]=5. Determine the smallest possible value of the probability of the event X=0.
Original LaTeX notation
Suppose $X$ is a random variable that takes on only nonnegative integer values, with $E\left[ X \right] = 1$, $E\left[ X^2 \right] = 2$, and $E \left[ X^3 \right] = 5$. Determine the smallest possible value of the probability of the event $X=0$.
