also known as probability mass function
probability distribution
table that gives a list of probability values along with their associated value in the range of a discrete random variable.
probability distribution,
is the set of all values possible for a given random variable.
Range Space
also called a stochastic variable
RANDOM VARIABLES
is a rule that assigns a numerical value or characteristic to an outcome of an experiment.
RANDOM VARIABLES
it is essentially a variable, usually denoted as X or any capital letter of the alphabet, because its value is not constant – it assumes different values due to chance.
RANDOM VARIABLES
are measures of variability, which means that they describe the degree of homogeneity or heterogeneity of a given set of data.
Variance and standard deviation
two probability distributions have the same mean value but are entirely different.
T or F
T
The variance is denoted as
σ²
standard deviation is denoted as
σ
