Probability Distribution for a Discrete Random Variable • Since probabilities are between zero and one, inclusive, the values of the probabilities associated with a discrete random variable must be between zero and one, inclusive. inclusive �� Alternate: Alternate: Letting P(X = x) denote the probability that the value of the random variable X is equal to x, these probabilities must be such that 0 ≤ P(X = x) ≤ 1
Probability Distribution for a Discrete Random Variable • Since all the probabilities associated with the values of the random variable are specified by the probability distribution, the sum of these probabilities must be one. �� Letting P(x) P(x) denote the probability that the value of the random variable X is equal to x, these probabilities must be such ∑ P(x) P(x) = 1
