1. **Stating the problem:**
Consider a bag containing 5 pebbles: 2 red, 2 blue, and 1 green. We randomly select one pebble. Define the random variable $X$ as the color of the pebble chosen.
2. **Listing the sample space:**
The sample space $S$ consists of all possible outcomes when selecting one pebble:
$$S = \{\text{Red}, \text{Blue}, \text{Green}\}$$
3. **Counting the number of variable $X$:**
The random variable $X$ can take 3 values corresponding to the colors: Red, Blue, Green.
4. **Conclusion:**
The variable $X$ is categorical with 3 possible outcomes.
5. **Frequency:**
- Red pebbles: 2
- Blue pebbles: 2
- Green pebbles: 1
6. **Probability:**
Total pebbles = 5
Probability of selecting each color:
$$P(X=\text{Red}) = \frac{2}{5}$$
$$P(X=\text{Blue}) = \frac{2}{5}$$
$$P(X=\text{Green}) = \frac{1}{5}$$
7. **Histogram:**
The histogram would show bars for each color with heights proportional to their probabilities: Red and Blue bars at $\frac{2}{5}$, Green bar at $\frac{1}{5}$.
Final answer:
The random variable $X$ representing the color of a randomly selected pebble has probabilities $P(X=\text{Red})=\frac{2}{5}$, $P(X=\text{Blue})=\frac{2}{5}$, and $P(X=\text{Green})=\frac{1}{5}$.
