Determine whether or not the distribution is a discrete probability distribution and select the reason why or why not.

x −4 −3 −1
P(X=x)P(X=x) 0.29 0.20 0.12

First, decide whether the distribution is a discrete probability distribution, then select the reason for making this decision.

 
Decide Yes No
Reason 
A.Since the probabilities lie inclusively between 0 and 1 and the sum of the probabilities is equal to 1.
B.Since at least one of the probability values is greater than 1 or less than 0
C.Since the sum of the probabilities is not equal to 1.
D.Since the sum of the probabilities is equal to 1.
E. Since the probabilities lie inclusively between 0 and 1.
