Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the probability distribution

The probability distribution is given as follows:

x | P(x) ---|--- 0 | 0.202 1 | 0.147 2 | 0.233 3 | 0.128 4 | 0.290

Step 2: Identify the correct graph

The correct graph should represent the probabilities given in the table. The height of each bar should correspond to the probability for each value of x.

  • For x=0, P(x) = 0.202
  • For x=1, P(x) = 0.147
  • For x=2, P(x) = 0.233
  • For x=3, P(x) = 0.128
  • For x=4, P(x) = 0.290

Observing the given graphs, option C correctly represents these probabilities.

Final Answer: The correct answer is C.
