The expected value of a discrete random variable is the product of the probability and the number of trials. Therefore, if the probability of an event happening is p and the number of trials is n, the expected
Discrete random variablesMean and variance estimationThe bootstrap method is based on resampling of the original randomsample drawn from a population with an unknown distribution. In the article it was shown that because of the progress in computer technology resampling is actually unnecessary if the ...
Discrete random variables take on a countable number of distinct values. Consider an experiment where a coin is tossed three times. If X represents the number of times the coin comes up heads, then X is a discrete random variable that can only have the values 0, 1, 2, or 3 from no h...

A probability mass function (PMF) is a mathematical function that calculates the probability a discrete random variable will be a specific value. PMFs also describe the probability distribution for the full range of values for a discrete variable. A discrete random variable can take on a finite ...
Give a real-world example and explain how it would be useful to work with these z-scores instead of the original raw scores. Give some practical examples of discrete and continuous experiments. Which decision tree symbol represents a decision node? A. triangle B. Circle C. star D. S...
from the distribution of another random vector (in what follows we assume that it is discrete, but everything we say applies also to continuous vectors). Then, we use the sample mean as an approximation. This technique is calledimportance sampling. ...
Notice that the values are drawn from the original data, and because there are only 100 observations in each dataset, the simulated data are somewhat "discrete". One way to overcome this would be to add a small amount of random variation, possibly normally distributed, to the final simulated...
Warning: When you use a regression equation to predict the value of a dependent variable, do not use values for the independent variable that are outside the range of values used to create the equation. That is called extrapolation, and it can produce unreasonable estimates....
Since this new functionality does not support categorical variables, the CHAS variable will not be included in the k-Nearest Neighbors prediction model. The last variable, CAT. MEDV, is a discrete classification of the MEDV variable and will also not be used in this example. Partition the ...
