Determine whether the distribution is a discrete probability distribution. x: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 P(x): 0.25, 0.12, 0.47, 0.09, 0.07 Is the distribution a discrete probability distribution? A. Yes, because the sum of the probabilities is equal to 1 and each probability is between 0 and 1, inclusive. B. Yes, because the sum of the probabilities is equal to 1. C. No, because the sum of the probabilities is not equal to 1. D. No, because each probability is not between 0 and 1, inclusive.
