Question

Determine whether the distribution represents a discrete probability distribution. Justify your answer

Answer 1

The probability distribution is given in the table.

The condition for the probability distribution is

1. The sum of the probability distribution is 1.

2. The probabilities value range between 0 and 1.

Condition to check the probability distribution

`0.35+0.25+0.22+0.12=0.94`

The sum of the probability is not equal to 1.

Hence the distribution does not represents a discrete probability distribution.
