The Normal probability distribution function is left-skewed, right-skewed, or symmetric depending on the values of the variance and the standard deviation might the mean of a probability distribution for a discrete random variable be less than (or greater than) the average of possible values.
A probability distribution is a mathematical function that describes the probabilities of different possible values of a variable. Probability distributions are often represented using graphs or probability tables.
Probability distributions are called discrete probability distributions, and the set of outcomes is inherently discrete. For example, if you roll a die, all possible outcomes are discrete and you get a large number of outcomes. Also called probability mass function.

Using derivatives, it is found that regarding the tangent line to the function, we have that:
- The equation of the line is y = 962x - 5119.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The slope of the line tangent to a function f(x) at x = x' is given by f'(x'). In this problem, the function is given by:
f(x) = 5x³ + 2x + 1.
The derivative is given by:
f'(x) = 15x² + 2.
Hence the slope at x = 8 is:
m = f'(8) = 15(8)² + 2 = 962.
The line goes through the point (8,f(8)), hence:
f(8) = 5(8)³ + 2(8) + 1 = 2577.
Hence:
y = 962x + b
2577 = 962(8) + b
b = -5119.
Hence the equation is:
y = 962x - 5119.
