A spinner is divided into two equal parts, one red and one blue. The set of possible outcomes when the spinner is spun twice is S = {RR, RB, BR, BB}. Let X represent the number of times blue occurs. Which of the following is the probability distribution, PX(x)?
Answer
A
A 2-column table has 3 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries 0, 1, 2. The second column is labeled P x (x) with entries 0.25, 0.5, 0.25.
B
A 2-column table has 3 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries 0, 1, 2. The second column is labeled P x (x) with entries 0.33, 0.33, 0.33.
C
A 2-column table has 3 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries 0, 1, 2. The second column is labeled P x (x) with entries 0.5, 0.5, 0.
D
A 2-column table has 3 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries 0, 1, 2. The second column is labeled P x (x) with entries 0, 0.5, 0.5.
