The probability distribution function(PDF) is the probability value of the random variable which may be discrete or continuous, the value of probability always lies between 0 to 1. The probability distribution
and so on, or by letters of the Greek alphabet, i.e. and so on. A random variable is discrete if the range of its values is either finite or countably infinite. This range is usually denoted by . The continuous random variable is one in which the range of values is a continuum. ...
I roll a fair die. Let XX be the observed number. Find the conditional PMF of XX given that we know the observed number was less than 55. Solution For a discrete random variable XX and event AA, the conditional PMF of XX given AA is defined as PX|A(xi)=P(X=xi|A)=P(X=xi...
There aretwo typesofrandom variables:discreteandcontinuous. "Discrete"Random Variables A "discrete" random variableisone which can take ononlya countable number of distinct valueslike 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…100, 1 million, etc. Some examples of discrete random variables include: The number of t...
Expected Value of a Function of a Random Variable (LOTUS)Let XX be a discrete random variable with PMF PX(x)PX(x), and let Y=g(X)Y=g(X). Suppose that we are interested in finding EYEY. One way to find EYEY is to first find the PMF of YY and then use the expectation ...
CDF: a discrete example Cumulative distribution functions work also with discrete random variables. In fact the following example deals with the classic toss of a fair 6-sided dice. Of course we have a 1 in 6 chance of getting any of the possible values of the random variable (1, 2, 3...
