Probability Dist.

4.1

QuestionAnswer
What is random variable x numerical value associated with each outcome of a probability experiment
what is a discrete variable? finite or countable # of outcomes
what is a continuous variable? uncountable # of outcomes, represented by an interval on a number line. Example: Age, Height, Weight
what are the discrete probability distribution conditions? 0 < or = to P(x) < or = to 1 SUM P(x)=1
What are the 2 steps in constructing a discrete probability distribution ? 1. make freq. dist. for possible outcomes 2. SUM F 3. find probability of each outcome [P(f)] by F/(SUM F) 4. Check work. All add up to 1?
what is the formula to find the mean of the discrete random variable u=E[x*P(x)]
what is the formula to find the variance of a discrete random variable? o^2=E[(x-u)^2P(x)]
what is the formula to find the standard deviation of a discrete random variable? o=sq rt o^2 =sq rt E[(x-u)^2P(x)]
What is the formula to find the expected value of a discrete random variable? E(x)=u=E[x*P(x)]
At a raffle, 1,500 tickets are sold at $2 each for 4 prizes of $500, $250, $150, & $75. You buy one ticket. What is the expected value of your gain? -$1.35: Because the expected value is neg, you can expect to lose an average of $1.35 for each ticket you buy.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
