PROBIBILITY DISTRIBUTION DEFINITIONS (6.1):
Random Variable is a measurable or countable outcome of a probability experiment.
Discrete Random Variables have countable and finite outcomes.
Continuous Random Variables have infinitely many possible outcomes from measurements and are described in ranges of values.
![Page 3: CHAPTER 6: DISCRETE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56812a80550346895d8e111c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
DISCRETE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS:
Looks like Discrete Relative Frequency Distributions from chapter 2.
The relative frequency is the probability [p(x)] of the discrete value (x) occurring and therefore has a value between 0 and 1.
The sum of all probabilities is 1.0.

BINOMIAL PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION (6.2):
Calculate the probability of rolling a die five times and getting a “1” exactly 2 times.
p=1/6, n=5, 1-p=5/6. How many ways can this happen. Do the same for 0, 1, 3, 4 and 5
times.

BINOMIAL PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION:
Let n = number of trials p = probability of success on any given trial q = 1 – p = probability of failure on any given
trial x = the desired number of successes out of n
trials Then probability of x successes from n
trials ( )( ) x n xn xp x C p q

REQUIREMENTS FOR AN EXPERIMENT TO BE A BINOMIAL PROBABITY PROCEDURE: Fixed number of trials (n); Fixed probability (p) of success for
every trial; Each trial independent of all other
trials; Each trial has only TWO possible
outcomes.

BINOMIAL PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION:
Example: n=8, p=0.85, find p(5). Use formula Use table Use calculator:
DISTR (2nd, VARS)0.binompdf(n,p,x)
Do also for x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and build discrete probability distribution; graph result.

BINOMIAL PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION:
Do again with n=8, p=0.22 Build discrete probability distribution
and graph. Compare graphs. Skew is result of mean (n*p) As n increases the graph becomes
more bell shaped.

BINOMIAL PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION:
65% of population of city is Hispanic. A jury of 12 is selected.
Is this Binomial? Why or why not? What is n, and p? Find p(x=7); p(X=2); p(x≤6); p(x>6). Would it be unusual to find a jury with only 2
Hispanics. Find the mean and std. dev. of this
distribution Is it unusual to have less than 7 Hispanic
jurors; how about 4?

POISSON DISTRIBUTION: (6.3)
Defined as the countable number of events in a fixed interval.
The number of defects in a square yard of material.
The number of Okapi’s in a square mile of rain forest.
The number speeding tickets issued in a day in a city.
Look at 8 x 11 inch paper with dots.
![Page 18: CHAPTER 6: DISCRETE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56812a80550346895d8e111c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
POISSON DISTRIBUTION:
REQUIREMENTS FOR X TO BE A POISSON RANDOM VARIABLE: The probability for two or more events in a
sufficiently small interval is 0. The probability is the same for any two equal
intervals. The number of successes in any interval is
independent of the number of successes in any other interval, providing the intervals are not overlapping

POISSON DISTRIBUTION:
Let λ be the mean number of events per unit interval and t be the number of intervals.
Then the mean number of events in t intervals is t* λ = µ.
Then
Mean of the Poisson Distribution = µ Std. Dev. of the Poisson Distribution = Calculator: DISTR (2nd, VARS)B.poissonpdf(µ,x)

POISSON DISTRIBUTION:
In the Binomial Distribution the minimum value for x is 0 and the maximum is n.
In the Poisson distribution the minimum value of x is 0, but the maximum value is infinity.
