Least squares estimation (statistics)

I am confused as to how to interpret this question:

Do we have a distribution of a discrete stochastic variable that can take on 3 outcomes 0, 1 and 2 and their probabilities are what is given as P(Xi=a)? Also how is small xi related to big Xi?

Yes, I think your interpretation is correct.

Xi (big) represents the stochastic variable itself while xi (small) is a concrete observation (outcome) of that variable.

So the outcome 1 was observed twice (x1 and x2) and the outcome 2 was observed once (x3)?

Exactly.
