Probability Distributions A discrete probability distribution assigns a probability to each value of a discrete random variable X.A discrete probability distribution assigns a probability to each value of a discrete random variable X. To be a valid probability distribution, each of the following must be satisfied.To be a valid probability distribution, each of the following must be satisfied. LO6-1

6-5 The expected value E(X) of a discrete random variable is the sum of all X-values weighted by their respective probabilities.The expected value E(X) of a discrete random variable is the sum of all X-values weighted by their respective probabilities. The E(X) is a measure of central tendency.The E(X) is a measure of central tendency. Expected Value Chapter 6 LO6-2: Solve problems using expected value and variance. LO Discrete Distributions

6-6 If there are n distinct values of X, then the variance of a discrete random variable is:If there are n distinct values of X, then the variance of a discrete random variable is: The variance is a weighted average of the dispersion about the mean and is denoted either as  2 or V(X).The variance is a weighted average of the dispersion about the mean and is denoted either as  2 or V(X). The standard deviation is the square root of the variance and is denoted .The standard deviation is the square root of the variance and is denoted . Variance and Standard Deviation Chapter Discrete Distributions LO6-2

A cumulative distribution function (CDF) is a mathematical function that shows the cumulative sum of probabilities, adding from the smallest to the largest X-value, gradually approaching unity.A cumulative distribution function (CDF) is a mathematical function that shows the cumulative sum of probabilities, adding from the smallest to the largest X-value, gradually approaching unity. What is a PDF or CDF? Chapter 6 LO6-3: Define probability distribution, PDF, and CDF. 6.1 Discrete Distributions LO6-3

6-8 Illustrative PDF (Probability Density Function) Cumulative CDF (Cumulative Density Function) Consider the following illustrative histograms: The equations for these functions depend on the parameter(s) of the distribution. What is a PDF or CDF? Chapter 6 PDF = P(X = x) CDF = P(X ≤ x) 6.1 Discrete Distributions LO6-3

6-9 Characteristics of the Uniform Discrete Distribution The uniform distribution describes a random variable with a finite number of integer values from a to b (the only two parameters).The uniform distribution describes a random variable with a finite number of integer values from a to b (the only two parameters). Each value of the random variable is equally likely to occur.Each value of the random variable is equally likely to occur. Chapter Uniform Distribution LO6-4: Know the mean and variance of a uniform discrete model. LO6-4

6-10 A random experiment with only 2 outcomes is a Bernoulli experiment. One outcome is arbitrarily labeled a “success” (denoted X = 1) and the other a “failure” (denoted X = 0).  is the P(success), 1 –  is the P(failure). Note that P(0) + P(1) = (1 –  ) +  = 1 and 0 ≤  ≤ 1. “Success” is usually defined as the less likely outcome so that  <.5 for convenience. Bernoulli Experiments Chapter Bernoulli Distribution The expected value (mean) and variance of a Bernoulli experiment is calculated as: E(X) =  and V(X) =  (1 -  )

Chapter Poisson Distribution LO6-6: Find Poisson probabilities using tables, formulas, or Excel. Characteristics of the Poisson Distribution LO6-6

6-13 The hypergeometric distribution is similar to the binomial distribution. However, unlike the binomial, sampling is without replacement from a finite population of N items. The hypergeometric distribution may be skewed right or left and is symmetric only if the proportion of successes in the population is 50%. Characteristics of the Hypergeometric Distribution. 6.6 Hypergeometric Distribution LO6-8: Find hypergeometric probabilities using Excel. LO6-8

6-14 Both the binomial and hyper geometric involve samples of size n and treat X as the number of successes. The binomial samples with replacement while the hyper geometric samples without replacement. Binomial Approximation to the Hypergeometric 6.6 Hypergeometric Distribution LO6-8

6-15 The geometric distribution describes the number of Bernoulli trials until the first success. X is the number of trials until the first success. X ranges from {1, 2,...} since we must have at least one trial to obtain the first success. However, the number of trials is not fixed.  is the constant probability of a success on each trial Characteristics of the Geometric Distribution 6.7 Geometric Distribution LO6-9: Calculate Geometric probabilities.
