Question 1191932: Suppose three iphones are tested random. We want to find out the number of defective iphones that occur. Thus, to each outcome in the sample space we shall assign a value. These are 0,1,2, or 3. If there is no defective iphone, we assign the number 0; if there is 1 defective iphone, we assign the number 1; if there are two defective iphones, we assign the number 2; and 3, if there are three defective Iphones. The number of defective iphones is a random variable. The possible values of this random variable are 0,1,2, and 3.
Let D represent the defective iphone and N represent the non-defective iphone. If we let X be the random variable representing the number of defective cell phones, show the values of the random variable X by using table.

It seems like this question is incomplete.
Are you sure that your teacher wants you to list the possible values of X only?
If so, then it's simply X = 0, X = 1, X = 2, X = 3

If your teacher wants you to also list the corresponding P(X) values, then unfortunately there isn't enough info here.
It's quite possible that this problem references a previous problem.
If so, then you'll need to post that info as well.
