The graph of a probability distribution has a horizontal x-axislabeled "Number of Hits" from 0 to 5 in intervals of 1 and avertical y-axis labeled "Probability" from 0 to 0.4 in intervals of0.05. Vertical line segments are centered on each of the horizontalaxis tick marks. The approximate heights of the vertical linesegments are as follows, with the horizontal coordinate listedfirst and the line height listed second: 0, 0.34; 1, 0.15; 2, 0.02;3, 0.17; 4, 0.28; 5, 0.04.
