Which of the foll
Answer :
The key point to solve the problem:
A given distribution of probabilities of a random variable X is said to be probability distribution if the sum of probabilities associated with each random variable is equal to 1
i.e. ∑(pi) = 1
Given distribution is :
Clearly,
Sum of probabilities = P(X = -1) + P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)
= 0.3 + 0.2 + 0.4 + 0.1 + 0.05
= 1.05 ≠ 1
∴ The given distribution is not a probability distribution.
