In a probability distribution, the sum of all probabilities must equal 1.

You have the following probabilities:

- P(3) = 0.4
- P(5) = 0.5
- P(9) = ?

Let \( P(9) = x \). Therefore, we can set up the equation:

\[
0.4 + 0.5 + x = 1
\]

Combining the known probabilities:

\[
0.9 + x = 1
\]

To find \( x \), we subtract 0.9 from both sides:

\[
x = 1 - 0.9
\]
\[
x = 0.1
\]

Thus, the missing value P(9) is **0.1**.
