Chapter 9: Discrete probability distributions Notes
Discrete random variables and their probability distributions, relative frequency, expected value, variance and standard deviation.
Sections
-
9A Probability distributions Mastered
Discrete random variables, probability distribution tables and graphs, the condition that probabilities add to 1, and relative frequencies as estimates of probabilities.
-
9B Expected value Mastered
The mean or expected value of a discrete random variable, symmetric distributions, fair games and expected gain, and the expected value of a linear function aX + b.
-
9C Variance and standard deviation Mastered
The variance and standard deviation of a discrete random variable, the two formulas for variance, and the variance of a linear function aX + b.
