No, because each probability is not between 0 and 1, inclusive. O B. Yes, because the sum of the probabilities is equal to 1 O C. Yes, because the sum of the probabilities is equal to 1 and each probability is between 0 and 1, inclusive. 0 D. No, because the sum of the probabilties is not equal to 1 Cliok to select your answer Type here to search

Explanation / Answer

For a dsitribution to be a probability distribution, the sum of all probabilities should be 1 and all of the probabilitie should lie between 0 and 1 both inculsive. Let's check if the given distribution follows this.

Ptotal = 0.25+0.16+0.43+0.09+0.07 = 1.00

Since the sum is 1 the given distribution is a discrete probability distribution. Hence the correct option would be ,

C. Yes, the sum of probabilities is equal to 1 and each probability is is between 0 and 1, inclusive.
