    This document contains Cielo Dimayuga's work on a probability and statistics module. It classifies several random variables as discrete or continuous. It then evaluates whether given probability distributions are discrete by checking if they satisfy the properties of a discrete probability distribution, specifically if the probabilities sum to 1. It finds missing values in some probability distributions and constructs probability histograms to describe the distributions.

    ELABORATE
    A. Classify the following random variables as discrete or continuous.

    1. X = the number of mobile phones sold in one week in AB store Discrete


    2. Y = the weights in pounds of newly born babies in a hospital nursery Continuous

    a discrete probability distribution, identify the property or properties that are not satisfied.
