Answer:


0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to fill out the blank

For us to have a probability distribution, the sum of the individual probabilities should be one

Mathematically, for us to get the value of the blank, we have to subtract the sum of the probabilities from 1. This is because the value of the area under the probability distribution is 1 square unit

Thus,we have it that:


\begin{gathered} P(-1)\text{ = 1 - (0.11 + 0.25 + 0.36 + 0.18 + 0.04)} \\ P(-1)\text{ = 0.06} \end{gathered}
