3 Discrete Random Variables and Probability Distributions 3.1 Random Variables For a given sample space S of some experiment, a random variable is any rule that associates a number with each outcome in S. 3.6 The Poisson Probability Distribution A Shortcut Formula For Proposition V(X)= = = － － Rules Of Variance Proposition V(aX+b)= 诣祝痉泄卯康纺浅茸骇零游夹磷约呢抡寐竣依渤舱异烁咐骏输刊倚舔蟹静chapter3 discrete variablechapter3 discrete variable 3.4 the Binomial probability Distribution Properties of a Binomial experiment 1.The experiment consists of a sequence of n identical trials. 2.Two outcomes are possible on each trial. We refer to one as a success (S) and the other as a failure (F). 3.The probability of a success, denoted by p, does not change from trial to trial. Consequently, the probability of a failure, denoted by 1-p,does not change from trial to trial. 4.The trials are independent. 伸蛙臃凶眺胺世尚巡局蕴砧房敏弧彭羊乍播军烹藉水糜哟壁与罕引林析汇chapter3 discrete variablechapter3 discrete variable Example 1 Consider the experiment of tossing a coin five times and on each toss observing whether the coin lands with a head or tail on its upward face. Discuss this experiment with four properties satisfied. 看侩勒岭雅爆荡菠样癌主咋氰抚顷岗嫩轿外稻畏衔彤鞭郧晚猿吞毫皋灸乏chapter3 discrete variablechapter3 discrete variable the Binomial random variable and Distribution If we repeat a Bernoulli trial n times and record the total number of successes in these n independent and identical trials, then the total number of successes follows the Binomial distribution. Let Y = X1 + X2 + ... + Xn where X1, X2, ..., Xn are independent Bernoulli trials with probability of success = p, then Y ~ Bin (n, p) 度刃易画锈兼邓际淘恫逼探芋钙梦峙卞伎庞侠蹿按誉筋辫枕浮伴叹三爵删chapter3 discrete variablechapter3 discrete variable For X ~ Bin(n, p), X is a discrete random variable which takes an integer values 0, 1, 2, ..., n, and represents the total number of successes in n trials. As the probability of each success p is constant and X does not contain any information of the order of
