DISCRETE RANDOM VARIABLES A set containing an infinite number of elements is called denumerable if all of its elements can be enumerated by natural numbers. For example, the set of all integers is denumerable because one can enumerate all the elements of the set in the following way: Sign in...
Functions of Random Variables The general form: Y=g(X) Where Y is also a random variable, since g(X) provides a numerical number for any possible outcome in X . To obtain pY(y) , we add possibilities of all values of X that y=g(x) : pY(y)=∑x|g(x)=ypX(x) Example 2.1...
This section covers Discrete Random Variables, probability distribution, Cumulative Distribution Function and Probability Density Function. A probability distribution is a table of values showing the probabilities of various outcomes of an experiment. For example, if a coin is tossed three times, the ...
Comprehend expected value statistics and discrete random variables. Understand how to find expected value and learn real-life examples of...
In many problems involving probability, we are not as much interested in the actual random outcome, but a function of this outcome. For example, in Section 1.4 where we discussed Freivalds' algorithm, we considered a sample space of vectors \\(r=[r_1,\\dotsc ,r_n]^T\\) where each...
Example 1Let be a random variable that can take only three values (, and ), each with probability . Then, is a discrete variable. Its support isand its probability mass function is So, for example, the probability that will be equal to isand the probability that will be equal to is...

... Variables in statistics differ from variables in intermediate algebra in the two following ways. The domain of the random variable (RV) is not necessarily a numerical set; the domain may be expressed in words; for example, if XX = hair color then the domain is {black, blond, gray,...
Example: Deaths in Wisconsin Assuming deaths among young adults are relatively rare, we know the following: Average 584 deaths per year λ = Mortality rate ( α) seems constant. Therefore, the Poisson distribution can be used as a good model to make future predictions about the random variable...
