    Probability mass function is a function that gives the probability

        The PMF data in a form of list of tuples. Each tuple must contain
        two items with the first item being the probability of the implied
        random variable to take value of the second item.

        There must be at least one tuple in the list. All probabilities
        must sum up to 1 within the given precision.

        The type of values (second items in tuples) is not strictly defined,
