CHAPTER 5 Discrete Probability Distributions
Identifying Probability Distributions. In Exercises 7-14, determine whether a prob-
ability distribution is given. If a probability distribution is given, find its mean and standard
deviation. If a probability distribution is not given, identify the requirements that are not
satisfied.
