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 P(X=x) | 0.64 | 0.61 | 0.06 Answer First, decide whether the distribution is a discrete probability distribution, then select the reason for making this decision O Yes O No Since the probabilities lie inclusively between O and 1 and the sum of the probabilities is equal to 1 O 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 O Since the sum of the probabilities is equal to 1 . Since the probabilities lie inclusively between 0 and 1

Explanation / Answer

The given distribution is not a discrete probability distribution. Because all the probabilities do not add up to 1. It's greater than one. One of the main conditions for being a pmf is that the probabilities must add up to one.Which is violated here. Hence its not a discrete probability distribution.
