Question

The following data were collected by counting the number of operating rooms in use at
Tampa general Hospital over a 20-day period: On three of the days only one operating
room was used, on five of the days two were used, on eight of the days three were used,
and on four days all four of the hospital’s operating rooms were used.
a. Use the relative frequency approach to construct an empirical discrete probability
distribution for the number of operating rooms in use on any given day.
b. Draw a graph of the probability distribution.
c. Show that your probability distribution satisfies the required conditions for a valid
discrete probability distribution
