Question

Determine whether or not the distribution is a discrete probability distribution and select the reason why or why not. x 1 5 8 P(X=x) P(X=x) 0.29 0.05 0.26

Answer 1

Not a discrete probability distribution

Explanation:

In order for a distribution to be a discrete probability distribution, the sum of the probabilities must be equal to 1:

Since 0.29 + 0.05 + 0.26 = 0.60, then it is not a discrete probability distribution
