Transcribed Image Text:### 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
