  b. added to and/or subtracted from the value of x.
  c. added to and/or Subtracted from the value of z.
  d. added to and /or subtracted from the value of .

Question 2

The random variable x is the number of occurrences of an event over an interval of ten minutes. It can be assumed that the probability of an occurrence is the same in any two-time periods of an equal length. It is known that the mean number of occurrences in ten minutes is 5.3 . Which of the following discrete probability distributions' properties are satisfied by random variable x?
