Question
A sociologist randomly selects single adults for different groups of​ three, and the random variable x is the number in the group who say that the most fun way to flirt is in person. Determine whether a probability distribution is given. If a probability distribution is​ given, find its mean and standard deviation. If a probability distribution is not​ given, identify the requirements that are not satisfied.
