    This document discusses the validity of probability distributions for discrete random variables. It provides 3 examples checking if a probability distribution is valid by determining if the probabilities are between 0 and 1 and if they sum to 1. The first distribution is valid while the second is not valid because the sums is not equal to 1 and the third is not valid because it has a negative probability.

    a) Is this probability distribution valid? If not, why not?
    Yes as 0 P (X) 1 and P (X) = 1

    b) Is this probability distribution valid? If not, why not?


    No as P (X) = 1.05 1

    c) Is this probability distribution valid? If not, why not?

    No as P (X = 1) < 0
