Q

can often be determined from the probabilities of the individual events that comprise them.

A

Probabilities of joint events

17
Q

can be rewritten to generalize a multiplication rule.

A

Conditional Probability

18
Q

was an English mathematician and Presbyterian minister.

A

Thomas Bayes (1702-1761)

19
Q

is a function that assigns a real number to each outcome in the sample space of a random experiment. It may also be fixed or continuous.

A

Random Variables

20
Q

is a random variable with a finite or countably infinite range. Its values are obtained by counting.

A

Discrete random variable

21
Q

is a random variable with an interval (either finite or infinite) of real numbers for its range. Its values are obtained by measuring.

A

Continuous random variable

22
Q

A binomial trial can result in a success with probability p and a failure with probability q = 1 – p.

A

Binomial Distribution

23
Q

if repeated independent trials can result in a success with probability p and a failure with probability q = 1 – p.

A

Negative Binomial Distribution

24
Q

the probability distribution of the Poisson random variable X, representing the number of outcomes occurring in a given time interval or specified region denoted by t.
