In this experiment, you have a selection of cards numbered 5, 10, and 15. If we want to express the probability model mathematically, we first need to define the possible values of \( x \) and their corresponding probabilities.

Let's denote the values of the cards as:

  • \( x_1 = 5 \)
  • \( x_2 = 10 \)
  • \( x_3 = 15 \)

Assuming each card has an equal chance of being drawn (which is a common assumption in probability problems unless stated otherwise), the probability for each card can be calculated as follows:

  1. Total number of cards = 3
  2. Probability of each card = \( \frac{1}{3} \)

Thus, the probability function can be expressed as:

\[ f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{3} & \text{if } x = 5 \ \frac{1}{3} & \text{if } x = 10 \ \frac{1}{3} & \text{if } x = 15 \ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \]

Now, listing the values of \( x \) in ascending order:

  • \( x = 5, 10, 15 \)

Putting it all together, we have:

\[ f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{3} & \text{if } x = 5 \ \frac{1}{3} & \text{if } x = 10 \ \frac{1}{3} & \text{if } x = 15 \ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \]

So, the final answer is:

Values of \( x \): 5, 10, 15.
