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.
