At a track meet, 50 people ran the 100-meter dash. 2 people finished in 11 seconds, 5 people finished in 12 seconds, 8 people finished in 13 seconds, 10 people finished in 14 seconds, 21 people finished in 15 seconds, 2 people finished in 16 seconds, and 2 people finished in 17 seconds. What is the probability distribution for the finish times?
The probablility distribution table would look like a table. I'll do my best to make one below though please note that the lines are missing. it should be noted that these probabilities have been simplified. For example the probability for t=11 was 2/50 which reduces to 1/25
t 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
P(X=t) 1/25 1/10 4/25 1/5 21/50 1/25 1/25
