QMT200 CHAPTER 3: PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION 3.1 RANDOM VARIABLES AND PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION Random variables is a quantity resulting from an experiment that‚ by chance‚ can assume different values. Examples of random variables are the number of defective light bulbs produced during the week and the heights of the students is a class. Two types of random variables are discrete random variables and continuous random variable. 3.2 DISCRETE RANDOM VARIABLE A random variable is called

Probability 2 Theory Probability theory is the branch of mathematics concerned with probability‚ the analysis of random phenomena. (Feller‚ 1966) One object of probability theory is random variables. An individual coin toss would be considered to be a random variable. I predict if the coin is tossed repeatedly many times the sequence of it landing on either heads or tails will be about even. Experiment The Experiment we conducted was for ten students to flip a coin one hundred times

Mathematics can be applied to many daily life situations. In fact‚ math can be seen in nearly every aspect of life in some form or another. The trick of the matter is‚ is that most people are not aware of the fact that basic math skills can be used anytime and anywhere. For instance‚ the mathematical usage of probability can aid people in smart decision making‚ and can help people understand their odds. Statistically‚ probability refers to the relative possibility that an event will occur‚ as expressed

and the study of probability. He gives us historical background on the development of probability studies tied to games of chance; basic ideas of probability that are part of our mental arsenal and can be used in all kinds of unexpected situations; implications on statistics. First of all‚ he talks about that probabilities take their place in every part of our life‚ how can we put statistics in our life‚ how can we calculate the probability‚ which is born in the study of games of chances.
