STATS 10 Chapter Notes - Chapter 6: Probability Distribution
Document Summary
Chapter 6 modeling random events: the normal and binomial models. The possible outcomes of a random trial. The probability that each of those outcomes will occur. Random events cannot be predicted with absolute certainty, but a pattern can be spotted eventually. We can learn what is common and what is unusual. A description of how a statistician thinks data are produced. A tool that helps us by keeping track of the outcomes of a random experiment. 2 features: tells us all the possible outcomes of a random experiment, tells us the probability of each outcome. When adding up the probabilities for all possible outcomes in a pdf, they add up to 1 variables categorical.
