Question 1197876: Determine the probability distribution for a number chosen randomly between the integer values 10 and 15, inclusive, then display the probabilities in a bar graph

Set A = integer values between 10 and 15, inclusive
A = {10,11,12,13,14,15}

There are 15-10+1 = 6 items in set A
If each item has equal probaility of being chosen, then each has probaility 1/6. Think of rolling a die. For more information, check out "discrete uniform distribution".

This is what the probaility distribution looks like in tabular form.
XP(X)
101/6
111/6
121/6
131/6
141/6
151/6


The bar graph will have 6 bars each of identical height 1/6.
The x axis labels will be 10,11,12,13,14,15 to represent the 6 bars.
The y axis is the probaility (the taller the bar, the more likely the event will happen).
