    Yes, the given model is a valid finite probability model.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are given the following probability model below;

    Number Probability

    0 0.36

    1 0.26

    2 0.19

    3 0.08

    4 or more 0.11

    Total 1

    Now, for any probability distribution to be valid, there are two conditions;

    All the probability values in the distribution must be positive. Sum of all Probability values must be equal to 1.

    Since, in the above model both these conditions are fulfilled, so we can say that this is a valid finite probability model.
