Answer 1

the answer is YES

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is A. Yes, this a valid probability model.

Explanation:

It is given that Garcia is preparing for his football game. The following table shows a probability model for the number of rushing yards that he will have next game.

`Probability=\frac{\text{Required outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}`

Required outcomes and total outcomes are positive values, where required outcomes is less than total outcomes. So probability lies from 0 to 1 and the sum of all probabilities is 1.

From the given table it is clear that

`(1)/(8)+(1)/(4)+(1)/(2)+(1)/(8)=(1+2+4+1)/(8)\Rightarrow(8)/(8)=1`

The sum of probabilities is 1.

Therefore, the given table is a valid probability model.
