A sociologist randomly selects single adults for different groups of​ three, and the random variable x is the number in the group who say that the most fun way to flirt is in person. Determine whether a probability distribution is given. If a probability distribution is not​ given, identify the requirements that are not satisfied. Probability Distribution 0 1 2 3 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 P(x)

Does the table show a probability​ distribution? Select all that apply.
A.
​Yes, the table shows a probability distribution.
B.
​No, the sum of all the probabilities is not equal to 1.
C.
​No, the random variable​ x's number values are not associated with probabilities.
D.
​No, the random variable x is categorical instead of numerical.
E.
​No, not every probability is between 0 and 1 inclusive.

Answer:

A.

​Yes, the table shows a probability distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a sociologist randomly selects single adults for different groups of​ three.  And the random variable x is the number in the group who say that the most fun way to flirt is in person.

Since sample size is only 3, x cannot be more than 3.

So x can take values as 0 1 2 3

Prob distribution is given as

x P(x)

0 0.092

1 0.338

2 0.418

3 0.152

We find that x values are from 0 to 3.  

Each probability is positive but less than 1.

Also total probability = 1

So this is a perfect probability distribution.

A.

​Yes, the table shows a probability distribution.
