A histogram has a horizontal x-axis labeled "Number of Televisions" from 0 to 3 in increments of 1 and a vertical P(x)-axis labeled from 0 to 0.6 in increments of 0.1. The histogram contains vertical bars of width 1, where one vertical bar is centered over each of the horizontal axis tick marks. The heights of the vertical bars are as follows, where the number of televisions is listed first and the approximate height is listed second: 0, 0.01; 1, 0.17; 2, 0.28; 3, 0.54.
