Question 471245: A bag of colored blocks contains the following assortment of colors:
red (15), blue (6), orange (22), purple (14), green (6), and yellow (17).

Construct the probability distribution for x.
I not sure what x is. Is it 80? and the rules; the sum of P(x) = 1 I don't understand how to construct a table with 6 different colored bricks.

X is your random variable. The values it takes are qualitative.
The probability distribution of X is as follows:
x = red ==> p(x) = 15/80
x = blue ==> p(x) = 6/80
x = orange ==> p(x) = 22/80
x = purple ==> p(x) = 14/80
x = green ==> p(x) = 6/80
x = yellow ==> p(x) = 17/80.
