The plastic arrow on a spinner for a child's game stops rotating to point at one of four colours that will determine what happens next.Determine whether the following probability assignment is legitimate. Probability of ... $$\begin{array} { c | c | c | c } 
\text { Red } & \text { Yellow } & \text { Green } & \text { Blue } \
\hline 0.60 & 0.10 & 0.10 & 0.10
\end{array}$$
A)Legitimate
B)Not legitimate

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sum of the probabilities exceeds 1 (0.60 + 0.10 + 0.10 + 0.10 = 0.90), which is a requirement for a legitimate probability distribution.
