Question

Find the missing value required to create a probability distribution. Round to the nearest hundredth. X / P(x) //////// 0 / 0.04 1 / 0.09 2 / 0.19 3 / 4 / 0.2

Answer 1

Answer:

The missing value required to create a probability distribution, rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.48.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the value given is the probability distribution, the sum of the values of the probability should be 1

Here we have

x           0                   1                       2                       3                     4

P(x)       0.04              0.09                0.19                                          0.2

Therefore the sum of P(x) should be equal to 1

That is 0.04  + 0.09 + 0.19 +  M + 0.2 = 1

Where M is the missing value

Therefore

0.52 + M = 1 or M = 1 - 0.52 = 0.48

M = Missing value = 0.48.
