Chapter 5.1 Probability Distributions

 A variable is defined as a characteristic or attribute that can assume different values.  Recall that a variable can be discrete or continuous  A random variable is a variable whose values are determined by chance Variable

 A discrete probability distribution consists of the values a random variable can assume and the corresponding probabilities of the values.  The probabilities are determine theoretically or by observation. Discrete probability distribution

 The baseball World Series is played by the winner of the National League and the American League. The first team to win four games wins the World Series. In other words, the series will consist of four to seven games, depending on the individual victories. The data in the table shown consists of 40 World Series events. The number of games played in each series is represented by the variable X. Find the probability P(X) for each X, construct a probability distribution, and draw a graph for the data.
