Definitions

The probability of suffering an adverse reaction to a vaccine is 0. If persons are vaccinated, what is the probability of suffering some adverse reaction? A test contains 10 questions with 3 possible options each. For every question you get a point if you give the right answer and lose half a point if the answer is wrong.

Exercise 1

A student knows the right answer for 3 of the 10 questions and answers the rest randomly. What is the probability of passing the exam? A discrete random variable is one whose set of assumed values is countable arises from counting. A continuous random variable is one whose set of assumed values is uncountable arises from measurement. These x i then represent an event that is a subset of the sample space. The probabilities of the events are given by: P x 1 , P x 2 , P x 3 , For example, we may need to find some of the probabilities involved when we throw a die.

We would write for the probability of obtaining a "5" when we roll a die as:. A discrete probability distribution is a table or a formula listing all possible values that a discrete variable can take on, together with the associated probabilities.

See area under a curve in the integration section for some background on this. If an experiment is performed a sufficient number of times, then in the long run, the relative frequency of an event is called the probability of that event occurring. Refer to the previous example. The weight of a jar of coffee selected is a continuous random variable. It lists the observed values of the continuous random variable and their corresponding frequencies.

Let X represent a discrete random variable with the probability distribution function P X. To calculate this, we multiply each possible value of the variable by its probability, then add the results. What is the expected number of red balls?

11. Probability Distributions - Concepts

This means that if we performed this experiment times, we would expect to get red balls. The number of persons X , in a Singapore family chosen at random has the following probability distribution:. In a card game with my friend, I pay a certain amount of money each time I lose. If I draw other cards, I lose.

What should I pay so that we come out even? That is, the game is "fair"?

The standard deviation is a number which describes the spread of the distribution. Answer: 0.
