Probability distribution

In probability theory and statistics, a probability distribution is the mathematical function that gives the probabilities of occurrence of different possible outcomes for an experiment. It is a mathematical description of a random phenomenon in terms of its sample space and the probabilities of events (subsets of the sample space). For instance, if X is used to denote the outcome of a coin toss ("the experiment"), then the probability distribution of X would take the value 0.5 (1 in 2 or 1/2) for X = heads, and 0.5 for X = tails (assuming that the coin is fair). Examples of random phenomena include the weather conditions at some future date, the height of a randomly selected person, the fraction of male students in a school, the results of a survey to be conducted, etc. (Wikipedia).

Probability DISTRIBUTIONS for Discrete Random Variables (9-3)

A Probability Distribution: a mathematical description of (a) all possible outcomes for a random variable, and (b) the probabilities of each outcome occurring. Can be tabular (i.e., frequency table) or graphical (i.e., bar chart or histogram). For a discrete random variable, the underlying

Probability Distribution Functions and Cumulative Distribution Functions

In this video we discuss the concept of probability distributions. These commonly take one of two forms, either the probability distribution function, f(x), or the cumulative distribution function, F(x). We examine both discrete and continuous versions of both functions and illustrate th

UNIFORM Probability Distribution for Discrete Random Variables (9-5)

Uniform Probability Distribution: (i.e., a rectangular distribution) is a probability distribution involving one random variable with a constant probability. Each potential outcome is equally likely, such as flipping coin and getting heads is always 50/50. On Chaos Night, Dante experiment

Binomial and geometric distributions | Probability and Statistics | NJ Wildberger

We review the basic setup so far of a random variable X on a probability space (S,P), taking on values x_1,x_2,...,x_n with probabilities p_1,p_2,...,p_n. The associated probability distribution is just the record of the various values x_i and their probabilities p_i. It is this probabili

Introduction to R: Probability Distributions

Understanding the processes that generate the data we see is at the heart of data science. Much of the data we observe is generated by processes with an element of chance or randomness. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it doesn't. Probability is a statistical concept that describes the chance
