The valid probability distributions for a discrete random variable are :

<h2>Option A , D , and E</h2>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The probability of an event is defined as the possibility of an event occurring against sample space.

Let us tackle the problem.

In a discrete random variable , the sum of all the probability of distributions must equal to 1. The minimum value of probability is 0 and the maximum value of probability is 1.

<h2>Option A :</h2>

\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{6}{6} = 1 ✔

This is the valid probability distributions for a discrete random variable

<h2>Option B :</h2>

\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{19}{20} \ne 1 ⤬

This is not the valid probability distributions for a discrete random variable

<h2>Option C :</h2>

-\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{5} + \frac{137}{60} = 1 ⤬

Although the sum is 1 but this is still not the valid probability distributions for a discrete random variable because probability cannot have negative values.

<h2>Option D :</h2>

\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} + ... + \frac{1}{128} = 1 ✔

This is the valid probability distributions for a discrete random variable

<h2>Option E :</h2>

\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{10} +...+ \frac{1}{10} = 1 ✔

This is the valid probability distributions for a discrete random variable

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

f(x) = 3x + 1

f(-2/3) is x = -2/3

<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>

  1. Substitute:                    f(-2/3) = 3(-2/3) + 1
  2. Multiply:                        f(-2/3) = -2 + 1
  3. Add:                              f(-2/3) = -1

140x = 8400

\frac{140x}{140}  =  \frac{8400}{140}

x = 60

Our answer is 60.

Good luck.
