![The following table shows the distribution of murders by type of weapon for murder
F2
OB. No; the sum of the probabilities of all outcomes does not equal 1.
OC. No; the probability of all events in the table is not greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1.
O D. Yes; the rules required for a probability model are both met.
X
(a) Is the given table a probability model? Why or why not?
OA. No; the probability of all events in the table is not greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1, and the sum of the probabilities of all outcomes
does not equal 1.
(b) What is the probability that a randomly selected murder resulted from a rifle or shotgun?
P(rifle or shotgun) =
(Type a decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.)
