(iv)
Asked by Pooja Last Modified
Answer It is known that the sum of all the probabilities in a probability distribution is one.
(i) Sum of the probabilities = 0.4 + 0.4 + 0.2 = 1
Therefore, the given table is a probability distribution of random variables.
(ii) It can be seen that for X = 3, P (X) = −0.1
It is known that probability of any observation is not negative. Therefore, the given table is not a probability distribution of random variables.
(iii) Sum of the probabilities = 0.6 + 0.1 + 0.2 = 0.9 ≠ 1
Therefore, the given table is not a probability distribution of random variables.
(iv) Sum of the probabilities = 0.3 + 0.2 + 0.4 + 0.1 + 0.05 = 1.05 ≠ 1
Therefore, the given table is not a probability distribution of random variables.
