Math Problem Statement

Provide an appropriate response.

Consider the discrete probability distribution to the right when answering the following question. Find the probability that x equals 4.

Solution

To find the probability that x=4x = 4, you need to refer to the given discrete probability distribution table. A discrete probability distribution lists all possible values of a random variable xx and the corresponding probabilities for each of these values.

Assuming the table (or distribution) provides the probabilities for different values of xx, the probability that x=4x = 4 is simply the value listed for x=4x = 4 in the distribution.

Thus, the probability that x=4x = 4 can be expressed as:

P(x=4)=p4P(x = 4) = p_4

Where p4p_4 is the probability associated with x=4x = 4 in the given table.
