### Question 1

**Complete the following probability distribution table:**

#### Probability Distribution Table

| X   | P(X) |
|-----|------|
| -18 | 0.1  |
| 17  | 0.4  |
| 23  | 0.1  |
| 45  |      |

The table above outlines a discrete probability distribution. Your task is to complete the missing probability value for X = 45 to ensure that the sum of all probabilities equals 1, which is a fundamental property of probability distributions.

Step 1

Given Information:

Probability distribution table:

X P(X)
-18 0.1
17 0.4
23 0.1
45  

 

A discrete probability distribution lists each possible that a random variable takes, along with its probability:

For a discrete probability distribution, probability of each value of the random variable X, is between 0 and 1 i.e., 0PX1

And the Sum of all probability is 1 i.e., iPX=1
