Distribution Function properties

Let us consider the experiment of tossing the coin 3 times and observing the number of heads The probabilities and the distribution function are shown below The stair type distribution function can be written as were N can be infinite

Density Function –We define the derivative of the distribution function F X (x) as the probability density function f X (x). We call f X (x) the density function of the R.V X In our discrete R.V since

Properties of Density Function (Density is non-negative derivative of non-decreasing function) Properties (1) and (2) are used to prove if a certain function can be a valid density function.
