Statprob LT 1 Flashcards
It is a variable whose possible values are determined by chance. It is typically represented by an upper case letter, usually x, while its corresponding lower case letter in the this case, x is used to represent one of its values
Random variable
Can only take a finite(countable) number of distinct values.
discrete random variable
Can assume an infinite number of values in an interval between two specific values.
Continuous Random variable
Is a listing of all possible vales of a discrete random variable along with their corresponding probabilities.
Discrete probability distribution
The probability of each value of a discrete random is between 0 and 1 inclusive
Case 1
The sum of all probabilities is 1
Case 2
It is a discrete random variable x is also called the expected value of x. it is weighted average of all values that the random variable X would assume in the long run. It is denoted by E(x)
Mean of a discrete random variable
It is a discrete random variable x is the expected value of the square of the difference between assumed value of a random variable and the mean.
Variance of a discrete random variable
The large the value of the variance, the father are the vales of x from the mean
True
It is a discrete random variable x is the square root of the variance.
Standard deviation of a discrete random variable
A game is fair if the expected value is?
