Fill in the \"Fill values in the table below to give a legitimate probability distribution for the discrete random variable \"\" , whose possible values are \"\" ,\"\" ,\"\" ,\"\" , and \"\".

Value x of X P(X=x)
2 0.17
3 0.13
4 0.25
5
6

Solution

for legitimate PDF, the sum of all probabilities must be 1. Here the sum of given probabilities is 0.55, and we need to fill last 2 cells such that total sum is 1, i..e, the sum of last 2 cells should be 0.45

Therefore we could have any pair here (a,b), such that (a+b) = 0.45 and both are non-negative. For this example, we can take a = P(X=5) = 0.2 and b = P(X=6) = 0.25

 Fill in the values in the table below to give a legitimate probability distribution for the discrete random variable , whose possible values are , , , , and .
