Study Notes
Binomial Distribution
- A binomial experiment involves multiple trials with two possible outcomes, usually success or failure.
- Each trial is independent, meaning the outcome of one trial does not affect the others.
- The probability of success is constant for each trial.
- The number of successes in a fixed number of trials is the random variable of interest.
Variance of Discrete Probability Distribution
- The variance measures how spread out the values of a random variable are from the mean.
- It is denoted by σ², while the standard deviation is its square root, denoted by σ.
- The variance helps understand the variability in a data set.
Mean or Expected Value of Discrete Probability Distribution
- The mean or expected value of a discrete probability distribution is the average value of the random variable, weighted by its probabilities.
- It represents the long-term average outcome of the random variable.
Population Mean
- The population mean is the average of all values in a given population.
- It is denoted by μ.
- Formula: μ = ΣX / N, where ΣX is the sum of all individual items in the population and N is the total number of items.
Population Variance
- The population variance measures the spread of the data points around the population mean.
- It is denoted by σ².
- Formula: σ² = Σ(X - μ)² / N, where Σ(X - μ)² is the sum of squared deviations from the mean, and N is the total number of items in the population.
