Identify the given problem if it will fall under discrete probability distribution. If Yes, justify
your answer/s using possible solution/s.

Yes, the given problem falls under discrete probability distribution. Presented below are
the possible solutions:

 Solution #1:  Solution #2:

∑ P(x) = 1 0 ≤ P(x) ≤ 1
P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3) + P(4) = 1 P(0) = 0 ≤ 0.3 ≤ 1
0.3 + 0.1 + P(2) + 0.2 + 0.1 = 1 P(1) = 0 ≤ 0.1 ≤ 1
0.7 + P(2) = 1 P(2) = 0 ≤ 0.3 ≤ 1
P(2) = 1 - 0.7 P(3) = 0 ≤ 0.2 ≤ 1
P(2) = 0.3 P(4) = 0 ≤ 0.1 ≤ 1
