variable X is a weighted average of the possible values that the random variable can take. Unlike the sample mean of a group of observations‚ which gives each observation equal weight‚ the mean of a random variable weights each outcome xi according to its probability‚ pi. The mean also of a random variable provides the long-run average of the variable‚ or the expected average outcome over many observations.The common symbol for the mean (also known as the expected value of X) is ‚ formally defined by Variance

For example tossing of coin‚ rolling of dice‚ roulette wheel‚ changes in valuation in shares‚ demand of particular product etc. Probability It is the numeric value representing the chance‚ likelihood‚ or possibility

random. What is the probability that at least one pair of shoes is obtained? 2. At a camera factory‚ an inspector checks 20 cameras and finds that three of them need adjustment before they can be shipped. Another employee carelessly mixes the cameras up so that no one knows which is which. Thus‚ the inspector must recheck the cameras one at a time until he locates all the bad ones. (a) What is the probability that no more than 17 cameras need to be rechecked? (b) What is the probability that exactly 17

Concept and basics of probability sampling methods One of the most important issues in researches is selecting an appropriate sample. Among sampling methods‚ probability sample are of much importance since most statistical tests fit on to this type of sampling method. Representativeness and generalize-ability will be achieved well with probable samples from a population‚ although the matter of low feasibility of a probable sampling method or high cost‚ don’t allow us to use it and shift us to the
