Size and power of a test on a four-point variable

Let XX be a random variable whose probability mass functions f(x∣H0)f(x|H_0) (under the null hypothesis H0H_0) and f(x∣H1)f(x|H_1) (under the alternative hypothesis H1H_1) are given by

X=x0123f(x∣H0)0.40.30.20.1f(x∣H1)0.10.20.30.4\begin{array}{c|cccc}X=x&0&1&2&3\\\hline f(x|H_0)&0.4&0.3&0.2&0.1\\f(x|H_1)&0.1&0.2&0.3&0.4\end{array}

For testing the null hypothesis H0:X∼f(x∣H0)H_0:X\sim f(x|H_0) against the alternative hypothesis H1:X∼f(x∣H1)H_1:X\sim f(x|H_1), consider the test given by: Reject H0H_0 if X>32X>\frac32. If α=\alpha= size of the test and β=\beta= power of the test, then
