2.7 Random Variables Flashcards
(6 cards)
Formula for variance
E(x^2) - E(x)^2
What is the bernoulli distribution
It is a complementary event (e.g. tossing a coin)
range of values {0, 1}
P(X = 1) = p
P(X = 0) = 1 - p
E(x) = p
var(x) = p(1 - p)
What is formula for expected and variance values for a binomial distribution
E(x) = np
var(x) = np(1-p)
What is p(X = k) for the poisson distribution?
(lamda^k)/k! * (e^-lamda)
lamda = np
what is e(x) and var(x) for poisson distribution
both lamda
