A probability distribution gives the possible values of the random variable and the probabilities of each random variable. Probabilities have to be between 0 and 1. The sum of all the probabilities has to be 1. Additionally, the different values for the random variable are disjoint possibilities. In other words P(Xa and X - b) = 0 if a and b are different outcomes. Fill in the missing value for the probability distribution. P(X) 0.151 X 3 4 5 What is P(X-6)? 0.04 0.026 ?

An ASU student makes a New Year resolution to shed a few pounds by going to the gym and eating right. The student purchases a scale so that he can keep track of his progress. He steps on the scale and it shows “180 lbs.” He steps off the scale and one minute later steps back on the scale. This time it shows “187 lbs.” This scenario shows an issue with the scale’s ______________.
