$A$ student studies for $X$ number of hours during a randomly selected school day. The probability distribution of $X$ is given by the following form,where $k$ is a constant:
$P(X=x) = \begin{cases} 0.2, & \text{if } x=0 \\ kx, & \text{if } x=1 \text{ or } 2 \\ k(6-x), & \text{if } x=3 \text{ or } 4 \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$
The probability that the student studies for at most two hours is:
$P(X=x) = \begin{cases} 0.2, & \text{if } x=0 \\ kx, & \text{if } x=1 \text{ or } 2 \\ k(6-x), & \text{if } x=3 \text{ or } 4 \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$
The probability that the student studies for at most two hours is:
- A$0.1$
- B$0.5$
- C$0.3$
- D$0.7$
