Okay so for the question I'm posting has a pic with it but idk how I can attach it so you guys can see it because I know you'll need it to help me out cause I've been stuck on this question for awhile so please any kind of help would be great(:
Which statements explain that the table does not represent a probability distribution?
Select each correct answer.
The probabilities are a mix of fractions and decimals.
The sum of the probabilities is 2/3
.
The probability −1/3
is less than 0.
The results are all greater than 1.
again I don't have a good clue on what the answer might be I'm very stuck :(
without the table or a good description... I can't help.
I apologize for the inconvenience, but as an AI text-based bot, I am unable to directly view or process images. However, I can still assist you in understanding and answering your question based on the information you provide.
To determine whether the given table represents a probability distribution, we need to evaluate each statement individually:
1. The probabilities are a mix of fractions and decimals: This statement alone does not necessarily indicate if the table does not represent a probability distribution. Probability values can be expressed as fractions or decimals.
2. The sum of the probabilities is 2/3: In a probability distribution, the sum of all probabilities should always be equal to 1. If the sum in the given table is 2/3, it implies that the probabilities are not normalized, and thus, it does not represent a probability distribution.
3. The probability -1/3 is less than 0: Probabilities cannot be negative. If the table includes negative probabilities, it means that it does not represent a valid probability distribution.
4. The results are all greater than 1: In a probability distribution, the individual probabilities should always be between 0 and 1 (inclusive). If any of the probabilities in the table exceed 1, it suggests that it does not represent a probability distribution.
Based on these statements, the correct answers for why the table does not represent a probability distribution would be:
- The sum of the probabilities is 2/3.
- The probability -1/3 is less than 0.
- The results are all greater than 1.
I hope this helps you with your question! If you have any more doubts or need further clarification, please let me know.
