Consider these three tables. State which table(s) could not represent a discrete probability distribution, giving reasons. a 1 2 3 4 P(A=a) 0.1 0.2 0.03 0.4 b 1 2 3 4 P(B=b) 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.4 c 4.5 3 1 0 P(C=c) 0.2 0.2 0.5 0.1

Three tables listed below show "random variables" and their "probabilities." However, only one of these is actually a probability distribution. a. Which is it? $$\begin{array}{|rc|}\hline {\boldsymbol{X}} & \boldsymbol{P}(\boldsymbol{x}) \\\hline 5 & .3 \\10 & .3 \\15 & .2 \\20 & .4 \\\hline\end{array}$$ $$\begin{array}{|rc|}\hline {x} & P(x) \\\hline 5 & .1 \\10 & .3 \\15 & .2 \\20 & .4 \\\hline\end{array}$$ $$\begin{array}{|rr|}\hline {\boldsymbol{x}} & \boldsymbol{P}(\boldsymbol{x}) \\\hline 5 & .5 \\10 & .3 \\ 15 & -.2 \\20 & .4 \\\hline\end{array}$$ b. Using the correct probability distribution, find the probability that $x$ is: (1) Exactly 15 . (2) No more than 10 . (3) More than 5 . c. Compute the mean, variance, and standard deviation of this distribution.
