Question
### Frequency and Probability Distributions

#### A. Frequency Distribution
A frequency distribution is shown below. Complete parts (a) and (b).

**The number of televisions per household in a small town:**

| Televisions | 0  | 1   | 2   | 3    |
|-------------|----|-----|-----|------|
| Households  | 24 | 443 | 722 | 1402 |

#### (a) Probability Distribution

Using the frequency distribution to construct a probability distribution:

1. Calculate the total number of households. 
   - Total = 24 + 443 + 722 + 1402 = 2591

2. Compute the probability for each number of televisions (x):
   - P(0) = 24 / 2591 ≈ 0.009
   - P(1) = 443 / 2591 ≈ 0.171
   - P(2) = 722 / 2591 ≈ 0.279
   - P(3) = 1402 / 2591 ≈ 0.541

3. The probability distribution is as follows:
   - x:  0 | P(x): 0.009
   - x:  1 | P(x): 0.171
   - x:  2 | P(x): 0.279
   - x:  3 | P(x): 0.541

**(Round to three decimal places as needed.)**

#### (b) Histogram
Graph the probability distribution using a histogram. Choose the correct graph of the distribution below:

- **Option A:**
  - Bars are at 0, 1, 2, and 3.
  - The heights are approximately 0.009, 0.171, 0.279, and 0.541 respectively.

- **Option B:**
  - Bars are at 0, 1, 2, and 3.
  - The heights are different and don't match the calculated probabilities.

- **Option C:**
  - Bars are at 0, 1, 2, and 3.
  - The heights decrease from 0 to 3, not matching the increasing values calculated.

**Correct Answer: Option A**

#### Histogram Shape

Describe the histogram's shape. Choose the correct answer below:

- **Skewed
