Question 1027943: Determine the required value of the missing probability to make the distribution a discrete probability distribution.
X P(x)
3 0.16
4 ?
5 0.36
6 0.24
I am having a difficult time figuring out how to find this missing probability.

P(4) = 1 - P(3) - P(5) - P(6) = 1-0.16-0.36-0.24 = 0.24.
