Consider the following probability distribution of X. Is p(x ) a p.m.f?

(X) 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
P(xi) 1/36 2/36 3/36 4/36 5/36 6/36 5/36 2/36 4/36 2/36 1/36

Best answer

p(x ) > 0 for all i

\(\sum\)p(xi) = 1/36 + 2/36 + 3/36 + 4/36 + 5/36 + 6/36 + 5/36 + 4/36 + 3/36 + 2/36 + 1/36

= 3/36 = 1

Hence p(xi) is a p.m.f.
