Answer to Problem 22PT4

(e) This is a not a legitimate probability distribution because and The Practice of Statistics for AP - 4th Edition, Chapter 12, Problem 22PT4 , additional homework tip 3 is not exactly 1.

Explanation of Solution

For any legitimate probability distribution, each pi should be between 0 and 1 and The Practice of Statistics for AP - 4th Edition, Chapter 12, Problem 22PT4 , additional homework tip 4 is exactly 1.

In the data, The Practice of Statistics for AP - 4th Edition, Chapter 12, Problem 22PT4 , additional homework tip 5= 0.10+0.20+.35+.25+.15=1.05 and not exactly 1. Hence correct option is

(e) This is a not a legitimate probability distribution because and The Practice of Statistics for AP - 4th Edition, Chapter 12, Problem 22PT4 , additional homework tip 6 is not exactly 1.
