ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
Let X be the number of students who show up for a professor's office hour on a particular day. Suppose that the pmf of X is p(0) = .20, p(1) = .25, p(2) = .30, p(3) = .15, and p(4) = .10.
a).
Now we have to draw the corresponding probability histogram.
Then the table is given below.
X |
P(X) |
0 |
0.20 |
1 |
0.25 |
2 |
0.30 |
3 |
0.15 |
4 |
0.10 |
We have drawn probability histogram is given below.
