Is the distribution a discrete probability distribution? Why? Choose the correct answer below.
A.
Yes comma because the distribution is symmetric.
B.
No comma because the total probability is not equal to 1.
C.
Yes comma because the probabilities sum to 1 and are all between 0 and 1 comma inclusive.
D.
No comma because some of the probabilities have values greater than 1 or less than 0.
