Ted is not particularly creative. He uses the pickup line "If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together." The

random variable x is the number of women Ted approaches before encountering one who reacts positively. Determine whether a probability distribution is given. If a probability distribution is given, find its mean and standard deviation. If a probability distribution is not given, identify the requirements that are not satisfied.

Answer:

It is not a probability distribution as some data is missing.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not a probability distribution as some data is missing.

Since it is discrete and,

$\sum_{x = 0}^{3}$ P(X = x)

= (0.001 + 0.007 + 0.033 + 0.059)

= 0.1 ≠ 1

and we know that for

$f_{X}(x) = P(X = x)$

to be classified as a discrete probability function,

1. 0 ≤ P(X = x) ≤ 1 and ∀ x ∈ R and

2. $\sum_{x \epsilon M}$ P(X = x) = 1

where M is the support of X or the set of points where P(X = x) > 0

must hold.
