Look at your classmates’ distribution. Is there any well-known distribution that could be used to model their random phenomenon? Some well-known discrete distributions are: Uniform, Bernoulli, Binomial, Geometric, and Poisson (but there are others). Explain why this distribution might be appropriate. Post a picture of the discrete distribution and a histogram of the frequency data from the original post, and comment on what is similar and different. Are there any outliers that, if removed, would make the frequency data match the distribution really well?

The 10-day mileage-log is given in the data and some descriptive statistics is given below for further clarification. Firstly, one has to look for the histogram of the data to check the empirical density and hence any theoretical distribution if exists. The histogram is given below for the data given here.
The red curve indicates the empirical distribution of the data and from that it is quite evident that the data is quite skewed and from the frequency distribution given in the question, some known distributions like Bernoulli, Geometric or the Poisson can be ruled out. So, one quite good candidate for such a condition could be the binomial. Since the random variable could be described whether each day the mileage crosses a threshold mark. The binomial distribution could be a quite good fit. Even though the data seems to be quite skewed and the binomial is quite symmetric, one could expect that increasing the data or the trail of days, the density might come out to be symmetric. The distribution of a binomial distribution density is given below.
The outliers in the data could be checked and that...
