Question

Determine whether or not the distribution is a discrete probability distribution and select the reason why or why not. -5 0 9 Answer 2 Points Keypad First, decide whether the distribution is a discrete probability distribution, then select the reason for making this decision Decide Yes No Reason O Since the probabilities lie inclusively between 0 and 1 and the sum of the probabilities is equal to 1 Since at least one of the probability values is greater than 1 or less than 0. Since the sum of the probabilities is not equal to 1. Since the sum of the probabilities is equal to 1 Since the probabilities lie inclusively between 0 and 1.

Explanation / Answer

Sum of all the probabilities = 1/2 + 1/8 + 1/8 = 3/4

Since the sum is not equal to 1, this won't be a discrete probability distribution.

Hence,

The answer is No.

Reason: Option C is correct.
