Question 311232: The distribution below is not a probability distribution for which of the following reasons:
X 0 1 2 3 4
P(X) – 0.5 0.1 0.3 1.2 .02
a) P(X) 1 c) P(3) > 1 e) all of the above
b) P(0) < 0 d) b and c only
I thought this answer was a but it was wrong can you explain why Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! P(0)<0, probabilities must be greater than or equal to zero.
P(3)>1, probabilities must also be less than 1.
P(0)+P(1)+P(2)+P(3)+P(4)=1, the sum of all probabilities must equal 1.
So all of the above apply.
