Answer:

Option A is correct.

A uniform distribution.

Explanation:

Complete Question

T-Mobile sells 6 different models of cell phones and have found that they sell an equal number of each model. The probability distribution that would describe this random variable is called:

A) Uniform Distribution

B) Continuous Distribution

C) Poisson Distribution

D) Relative Frequency Distribution

Solution

A uniform distribution is one in which all the variables have the same probability of occurring.

It is also known as a rectangular distribution, as every portion of the sample space has an equal chance of occurring, with equal length on the probability curve, leading to a rectangular probability curve.

And for this question, 6 different models of phones sell an equal number, hence, the probability of selling each model is equal to one another, hence, this is evidently a uniform distribution.

Hope this Helps!!!
