I think I’m depressed lmao

So

#

all the values add up to 1

#

p+(1-6p)+p+3p+p = 1

#

6p + (1-6p) = 1

#

why does it

#

nvm sorry

#

well seen as the p's cancel out then you can say that p could be any value between 0 and 1 but obviously you cant have negative probably so 1-6p has got to be greater than 0

#

so p has to be less than 1/6

#

so the range would be between 0<p<1/6 i think

#

and then for part b thats just adding the probability of being less than or equal to 2 and making that equal to the probability of being greater than 2

#

So 1-4p=4p

#

p=1/8

#

also weird that theres no 4 on that distribution

Yeah I think that’s it thanks
