A random variable X is said to be continuous if its set of possible values is an entire interval of numbers -- that is, if for some A<B, any number x between A and B is possible. Probability Distribution of Continuous Variables Let X be a continuous rv. Then aprobability distributionor...

In this chapter, we first talk about defining random variables for some underlying random events (discussed in the previous chapter). For each random variable, we assume a probability distribution, which determines the possible values of the random variable and their corresponding probabilities. The ...
Using Distribution Function: F(x, y)=F_{1}(x) F_{2}(y) \\ Using Probability (Density) Function: f(x, y)=f_{1}(x) f_{2}(y) \\ For multivariate random vectors, independence means F\left(x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{n}\right)=F_{1}\left(x_{1}\right) F_{2}\le...
Probability Distribution A probability distribution is an assignment of probabilities to the specific values of a random variable, or to a range of values of the random variable. Discrete: probability assigned to each value of the random variable (and the sum = 1) ...
probability mass function (pmf) of a discrete random variable X f(x) = P(X=x) discrete uniform distribution When all of the probabilities are the same The Poisson Distribution appears in situations when we have a very large number of trials in which we are checking the occurence or not of...
For a real-valued (continuous) random variable x, a probability density function (PDF) p(x) is defined such that the probability that the variable takes a value x in the interval [x, x + dx] equals p(x)dx. A cumulative distribution function (CDF) provides a more intuitive defini...
