The valid probability distributions are the ones in options C and D.
Which of the following are valid probability distributions?
For discrete random variables with probabilities p₁, p₂, ..., pₙ, there are two rules:
- All of these probabilities are numbers between 0 and 1.
- p₁ + p₂ + ... + pₙ = 1.
So, for the first rule we can discard the first option, where we have negative probabilities.
To check the other 4 options, just add the probabilities and see if the addition gives 1.
The options that add up to 1 are C and D, so these two are the correct options.
D: 1/5 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/5 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10 = 1
C: 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 1
