QuestionCollege students are randomly selected and arranged in groups of three. The random variable xx is the number in the group who say that they take one or more online courses. Determine whether a probability distribution is given. If a probability distribution is given, find its mean and standard deviation. If a probability distribution is not given, identify the requirements that are not satisfied. \begin{tabular}{c|c} \hline x\mathbf{x} & P(x)\mathbf{P ( x )} \\ \hline 0 & 0.102 \\ \hline 1 & 0.356 \\ \hline 2 & 0.396 \\ \hline 3 & 0.146 \\ \hline \end{tabular}
Does the table show a probability distribution? Select all that apply. A. Yes, the table shows a probability distribution. B. No, the numerical values of the random variable xx are not associated with probabilities. C. No, the random variable xx is categorical instead of numerical. D. No, the sum of all the probabilities is not equal to 1 . E. No, not every probability is between 0 and 1 inclusive.
