F (-2)=8-4×-4=+16
f(x)=8 so 8 =8-4x so x=0
it is liner algebra . I will send you the graph and every thing later . like in 5 min .
X 1 2 3 4
p(x) 0.40 0.20 0.15 ?
If the items are only 4. The total of the probability must be 1 or 100%
1 - 0.40 - 0.20 - 0.15 = 0.25
The probability of 4 is 0.25.
All that is needed is for you to graph the points and if they form a line, they will be collinear. If not, they will not be collinear.
