This question: 10 point(s) possible

In the following probability distribution, the random variable X represents the number of marriages an individual aged 15 years or older has been involved in Complete parts (a) through (f).

x  0  1  2  3  4  5 
P(x)  0.288  0.522  0.146  0.039  0.004  0.001

(a) Verify that this is a discrete probability distribution

This is a discrete probability distribution because the sum of the probabilities is
(Type an integer or a decimal Do not round)
and each probability is between 0 and 1, inclusive

(b) Graph the discrete probability distribution Choose the correct graph.

Solution

failed

Solution Steps

Step 1: Verify the sum of the probabilities

The sum of the probabilities is: \[ 0.288 + 0.522 + 0.146 + 0.039 + 0.004 + 0.001 = 1.000 \]

Step 2: Check if each probability is between 0 and 1

Each probability is between 0 and 1, inclusive.

Final Answer

This is a discrete probability distribution because the sum of the probabilities is 1.000 and each probability is between 0 and 1, inclusive.
