Question

given below are tables or formulas which might represent a discrete probability distribution. If it could ne a discrete probability distribution write "yes". If the information given in the table or formula could not represent a discrete probability, write "no" AND explain why it can't represent a discrete probability?

 

d)

x 1 2 3 22
P (X = x) .1 .2 .3 .4

 

e)

x -1 0 1 2
P (X = x) .4 .3 .2 .1

 

f) 

P (X = x) = x^2 / 50 ; x = 2, 3, 4 , 5

 

g) P (X = x) = x / 20 ; x = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
