### Probability Distribution of Parental Activities

In the following probability distribution, the random variable \( x \) represents the number of activities a parent of a Kindergarten to 5th-grade student is involved in. Complete parts (a) through (f) below.

| \( x \)    | 0     | 1     | 2     | 3     | 4     |
|------------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|
| \( P(x) \) | 0.346 | 0.167 | 0.176 | 0.126 | 0.185 |

#### (a) Verification of a Discrete Probability Distribution

Verify that this is a discrete probability distribution.

This is a discrete probability distribution because the sum of the probabilities is \([Insert Total Here]\) and each probability is \([Insert Additional Condition Here]\).
