Q

What is a discrete uniform distribution

A

Is the simplest of all probability distributions and is where the random variable assumes each of its values with equal probability. A random variable X has a discrete uniform distribution if each of the n values in its range has equal probability

Q

How do you find the mean and variance of a discrete uniform distribution?

A

E(x) = (b+a)/2

Variance = ( (b-a+1)^2 - 1 )/ 12

Where b= max and a = min

A

It is the probability of the math success happens on the xth trial.

Assumptions:
1.) Binary(success or failure)
2.) Independent( one trial does not effect another)
3.) Number of trials until k success occur( desired # successes determined in advance)
4.) Probability of success is the same for each trial
