Module 5 Flashcards
as possible values a variable can take and how frequently they occur.
Distribution
defined as to measure the likelihood of an outcome
Probability
■ Finite number of outcomes
■ Equiprobable
■ Example: Flipping a coin
Discrete Distribution
■ Infinitely many outcomes
■ Test how an unusual an event frequency is for a given interval
Continuous Distribution
What variable denotes Uniform distribution
“U”
what letter is used to denote a random variable in uniform distribution
X = Random variable
○ Denoted by “Bern”
○ X ~ Bern (p)
Bernoulli Distribution
What is the difference between Bernoulli and Binomial Distribution
Bernoulli suggests the outcome we expect for a single digit, Binomial distribution suggest number of times we expect to get a specific outcome
○ Deals with the frequency with which an event occurs within a specific interval
Poisson Distribution
What denotes Poisson Distribution?
“Po”
