@satellite73 can u help with this?

OpenStudy (plainntall):

What is a discrete probability distribution?

OpenStudy (plainntall):

What are the chances that X = 100?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is all i have in my note's. "a discrete probability distribution is a probability distribution characterized by a probability mass function. Thus, the distribution of a random variable X is discrete, and X is then called a discrete random variable."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the chances that X = 100 is 0

OpenStudy (plainntall):

So the probability is just one number and not a function? Would that be discrete?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X can only take on certain discrete values and the sum of the probabilities is 1.

i think the answer is D?

ther you go
