A spinner has two equal sections, one green and one orange. The spinner is spun three times, resulting in the sample space S = {GGG, GGO, GOG, OGG, GOO, OGO, OOG, OOO}. If the random variable X represents the number of times orange, O, is spun, which graph represents the probability distribution?

A
A probability distribution is shown. The probability of 0 is 1; 1 is 3; 2 is 3; 3 is 1.
Option A
