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. Outcome HH HT TH TT No. of heads (x) 2 1 1..

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, which can assume the valu..

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 are 1. Continuous random variable, 2. discrete ra..

>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 random variable: A random variable which can assume ..

The number which tells us how many times a particular data appears is called the frequency. For example, 2 marks have been scored by five students which means marks 2 occurs five times. Therefore, the frequency of score 2 is five. Similarly, the frequency of marks 5 is three because three stu..

A trial, which has only two outcomes i.e., "a success" or "a failure", is called a Bernoulli trial . The probability distribution of the number of successes, so obtained is called the binomial distribution..
