Question 1009746: Given the function P(X) = (k-1) / 6, f or k = 2, 3, 4.find: P (X = 2), P (X = 3), P (X = 4), does this equation define a probability distribution?
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
P(x)=(1/6), (2/6), and (3/6), which are the respective probabilities for k=2,3,4.
These add to exactly 1, so yes, it is.
