Random Variables and Probability Distributions - It is often very important to allocate a numerical value to an outcome of a random experiment. For example, consider an experiment of tossing a coin twice and note the number of heads (x) obtained. Ou..

Let S be a sample space associated with a given random experiment. A real valued function X which assigns to each w i S, a unique real number, X( w i ) = x i is called a random variable . Two types of random variables..

It is often very important to allocate a numerical value to an outcome of a random experiment. For example, consider an experiment of tossing a coin twice and note the number of heads (x) obtained. Outcome HH HT TH TT No. of heads (x) 2 1 1 0 x is called a random variable..

Let X be continuous random variable which can assume values in the interval [a,b]. A function f(x) on [a,b] is called the probability density function if ..

Although the probability distribution of a continuous random variable cannot be presented in tabular form, it can have a formula in the form of a function represented by f(x) usually called the probability density function..

In this chapter we have studied the method of evaluating probabilities of events relating to independent events and conditional events. We have also studied about random variables and their probability distributions, namely binomial distributio..

>If A, B and C are mutually exclusive then Total Probability: P(A) = P(E 1 ) P(A|E 1 ) + P(E 2 ) P(A|E 2 )+ +P(E n ) P(A|E n ) Random variable: A real valued function 'X' defined on the sample space is called a random variable. Discrete ra..

random variable is a function which associates a real number to each outcome of a random experiment..

Let S be a sample space associated with a given random experiment. A real valued function X which assigns to each w i S, a unique real number...

Binomial Distribution - A trial, which has only two outcomes i.e., "a success" or "a failure", is called a Bernoulli trial. Let X be the number of successes in a Bernoulli trial, then X can take 0 or 1 and P(X =1) = p = "probability of a success" P(X = 0) = 1 - p = q = "pro..
