Chapter (6) Discrete Probability Distributions Examples. Example (1) Two balanced dice are rolled. Let X be the sum of the two dice. Obtain the probability distribution of X. . Solution. When the two balanced dice are rolled, there are 36 equally likely possible outcomes as shown below: . ( 1,1) . ( 2,1) ( 3,1) . ( 4,1) ( 5,1) .
• understand what is meant by a discrete probability distribution; • be able to find the mean and variance of a distribution; • be able to use the uniform distribution. 4.0 Introduction The definition ' X = the total when two standard dice are rolled' is an example of a random variable, X, which may assume any of
A discrete probability distribution function has two characteristics: Each probability is between zero and one, inclusive. The sum of the probabilities is one. Example 4.1. A child psychologist is interested in the number of times a newborn baby's crying wakes its mother after midnight.
4 Discrete Probability Distributions (P.41) Last week we have learned that probability (or chance) plays an important role in many real world problems. For example, a health department wishes to know the probability of contacting a particular disease.
discrete and continuous sides of probability are treated together to emphasize their similarities. Intended for students with a calculus background, the text teaches not only the nuts and bolts of probability theory and how to solve specific problems, but also why the methods of solution work.
