Question
Select all that applyWhich of the following are key properties of the discrete probability distribution?Multiple select question.The probabilities of success and failure remain the same from trial to trialThe probability of each value x is a value between 0 and 1, or, equivalently, 0 ≤ P(X = x) ≤ 1The number of successes within a specified time or space interval equals any integer between zero and infinityThe sum of the probabilities equals 1. In other words, ΣP(X = xi) = 1, where the sum extends over all values x of X
Solution
The key properties of the discrete probability distribution are:
- The probability of each value x is a value between 0 and 1, or, equivalently, 0 ≤ P(X = x) ≤ 1
- The sum of the probabilities equals 1. In other words, ΣP(X = xi) = 1, where the sum extends over all values x of X
The other two options are not necessarily properties of all discrete probability distributions. The first option is a property of a specific type of distribution known as a Bernoulli distribution. The third option is a property of a specific type of distribution known as a Poisson distribution.
