If C is between A and B, then, we can write the equation
Substitute the value of AB and the expressions for AC and CB in terms of x.
We can now solve for x.

Answer:
y 0 1 2 3
P(Y=y) 0.0676 0.3549 0.3875 0.19
Step-by-step explanation:
P(Wed) = 0.26
P(Thurs) = 0.39
P(Fri) = 0.25
P(Sat) = 0.10
Y = No. of days beyond Wednesday it takes for both magazines to arrive i.e. 0,1,2,3
Y=0 means the magazines will arrive on Wednesday
Y=1 means the magazines will arrive till Thursday
Y=2 means the magazines will arrive till Friday
Y=3 means the magazines will arrive till Saturday
The possible combinations for Y are
Y(W,W) Y(W,T) Y(W,F) Y(W,S)
Y(T,W) Y(T,T) Y(T,F) Y(T,S)
Y(F,W) Y(F,T) Y(F,F) Y(F,S)
Y(S,W) Y(S,T) Y(S,F) Y(S,S)
So, we can classify these possible outcomes as Y=0,1,2,3.
Y(0) = Y(W,W) (both magazines take 0 days to arrive beyond Wednesday)
Y(1) = Y(W,T), Y(T,T), Y(T,W) (both magazines take 1 day to arrive beyond Wednesday)
Y(2) = Y(W,F), Y(T,F), Y(F,F) Y(F,W) Y(F,T) (both magazines arrive till Friday)
Y(3) = Y(W,S), Y(T,S), Y(F,S), Y(S,W), Y(S,T), Y(S,F), Y(S,S) (both magazines arrive till Saturday)
To calculate the PMF, we need to calculate the probability for each of the points in Y(0,1,2,3).
Y(0) = Y(W,W)
= 0.26 x 0.26
Y(0) = 0.0676
Y(1) = Y(W,T) + Y(T,T) + Y(T,W)
= (0.26 x 0.39) + (0.39 x 0.39) + (0.39 x 0.26)
= 0.1014 + 0.1521 + 0.1014
Y(1) = 0.3549
Y(2) = Y(W,F) + Y(T,F) + Y(F,F) + Y(F,W) + Y(F,T)
=(0.26 x 0.25) + (0.39 x 0.25) + (0.25 x 0.25) + (0.25 x 0.26) + (0.25 x 0.39)
= 0.065 + 0.0975 + 0.0625 + 0.065 + 0.0975
Y(2) = 0.3875
Y(3) = Y(W,S) + Y(T,S) + Y(F,S) + Y(S,W) + Y(S,T) + Y(S,F) + Y(S,S)
= (0.26 x 0.10) + (0.39 x 0.10) + (0.25 x 0.10) + (0.10 x 0.26) + (0.10 x 0.39) + (0.10 x 0.25) + (0.10 x 0.10)
= 0.026 + 0.039 + 0.025 + 0.026 + 0.039 + 0.025 + 0.010
Y(3) = 0.19
y 0 1 2 3
P(Y=y) 0.0676 0.3549 0.3875 0.19
