Solution
for legitimate PDF, the sum of all probabilities must be 1. Here the sum of given probabilities is 0.55, and we need to fill last 2 cells such that total sum is 1, i..e, the sum of last 2 cells should be 0.45
Therefore we could have any pair here (a,b), such that (a+b) = 0.45 and both are non-negative. For this example, we can take a = P(X=5) = 0.2 and b = P(X=6) = 0.25
