OVERVIEW OF PROBABILITY

1. Introduction to Probability

 Definition: Probability quantifies the likelihood of an event occurring.


 Range: 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain)

2. Discrete Probability

 Deals with outcomes that are countable.


 Examples: Tossing a coin, rolling a die.
 Probability Mass Function (PMF):
P(X=x)P(X = x)P(X=x), where XXX is a discrete variable

3. Continuous Probability

 Deals with outcomes over a continuous range.


 Examples: Heights, temperatures.
 Probability Density Function (PDF):
Area under the curve gives probability

4. Probability Distribution

 Uniform Distribution: Equal probability for all outcomes.


 Binomial Distribution: Discrete; success/failure over n trials.
 Normal (Gaussian) Distribution: Bell-shaped curve.
 Poisson Distribution: Models number of events over a time/space.
