Short Answer

Expert verified

A histogram can portray the probability distribution of a discrete random variable graphically.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is:

How do you graphically portray the probability distribution of a discrete random variable?

02

Step 2. Explanation.

The likelihood of a discrete random variable informs us about the discrete random variable's probable values and accompanying probabilities.

The equivalent probability distribution for any discrete random variable Xican be represented as PXi.

A Histogram is a graph that is used to depict the probability distribution of a discrete random variable.

Therefore, a histogram can depict discrete values.
