Every​ morning, my neighbor goes out walking. I observe that​ 20% of the time she walks with her​ beagle, 70% of the time she wa

lks with her golden​ retriever, and​ 30% of the time she walks alone. If these events are all​ disjoint, is this an example of a valid probability​ distribution?

Answer:

No, This is not a valid Probability Distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability [Neighbour walks with Beagle] = 20%

Probability [Neighbour walks with Golden Retriever] = 70%

Probability [Neighbour walks alone] = 30%

Disjoint Events are the events that have zero probability of occurring together. If all the three above items are disjoint, it means that it can never happen that two of them happen together.

The total (summed) probability of a valid probability distribution, with disjoint sets = 1 . In given case, total probability = 0.2 + 0.7 + 0.3 = 1.2 ; i.e > 1.

So, this probability distribution with stated disjoint events is not a Valid Probability distribution.

There are 4 vertexes, so you know it's a polygon. When you graph these points it looks like the picture I linked below. It's a parallelogram because it has 2 pairs of parallel lines.
