Multiple Choice

Obtain the probability distribution of the random variable.
-The following table displays a frequency distribution for the number of living grandparents for students at a high school. For a randomly selected student in the school, let X denote the number of Living grandparents of the student. Obtain the probability distribution of X.  Number of living grandparents 01234 Frequency 3885157216154\begin{array}{r|rrrrr}\text { Number of living grandparents } & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\\hline \text { Frequency } & 38 & 85 & 157 & 216 & 154\end{array}
