Question 8 of 10 • EAP-Algebra Functions and Data Analysis B
Taylor surveys students in one grade level who own at least one pet. She finds that 50% of the students surveyed own 2 pets, 3 students own 3 pets each, and 2 students own 4 pets each. Eight of the students in the grade own 1 pet. Considering the number of pets as the random variable, X, which of the following is the probability distribution, PX(x)?

B
A probability distribution is shown. The probability of 1 is 0.28; 2 is 0.5; 3 is 0.1; 4 is 0.13.
C
A probability distribution is shown. The probability of 1 is 0.61; 2 is 0.5; 3 is 0.22; 4 is 0.15.
D
A probability distribution is shown. The probability of 1 is 0.53; 2 is 0.5; 3 is 0.2; 4 is 0.27.
