Question
Five males with an X-linked genetic disorder have one child each. The
random variable x is the number of children among the five who inherit
the X-linked genetic disorder. Determine whether a probability 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.

Does the table show a probability distribution? Select all that apply.
A. Yes, the table shows a probability distribution.
B. No, the random variable x is categorical instead of numerical.
C. No, the random variable x's number values are not associated with probabilities.
D. No, not every probability is between 0 and 1 inclusive.
E. No, the sum of all the probabilities is not equal to 1.
