3. If X = {2, 6, 10, 14} and P(2) = .2, P(6) = .3, P(10) = .4, and P(14) = .1, can distribution of the random variable X be considered a probability distribution?
A) Yes
B) No
4. We have the random variable X = {5, 6} with P(5) = .2 and P(6) = .8. Find E(X)
5. We have a Poisson distribution with mean = 4. Find P(X = 3), P(X < 3), P(X <= 3), P(X > 3), the variance, and standard deviation
