Determine whether or not the distribution is a discrete probability distribution

Question

Determine whether or not the distribution is a discrete probability distribution and select the reason why or why not. x-3 4 7 P(X=x) | 0.14 | 0.18 | 0.53 Answer First, decide whether the distribution is a discrete probability distribution, then select the reason for making this decision Yes No 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 than0 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

here sum of probability =0.14+0.18+0.53=0.85 which is not equal to 1 for a valid distribution.

therefore No;

since the sum of the probabilities is not equal to 1.
