Answer 2

Option A and D

Explanation:

Given : Result Probability

1/6 1/4

1/5 1/3

1/4 3/4

1/3 4/3

To find : Which statements explain that the table does not represent a probability distribution?

Solution :

A) The probability 4/3 is greater than 1.

This statement does not represent a probability distribution.

As probability lies between 0 and 1. It is not greater than 1.

D) The sum of the probabilities is 8/3.

This statement does not represent a probability distribution.

As sum of probability is always 1.

Therefore, Option A and D are correct.
