Abstract

The extent $\mathscr{E}$ of a probability distribution is defined to be the range of its probability measure, thus, it represents the set of possible probabilities of events. The structure of $\mathscr{E}$ is examined for discrete distributions with (countably) infinite support. An application is considered.
