MODULE 6 – PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS

BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION
Formula:

P(X = x) = n! / [x!(n − x)!] × p■ × q■■■

Where:

n = number of trials
x = number of successes
p = probability of success
q = 1 − p = probability of failure

Mean: µ = np
Variance: σ² = npq

MULTINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION
Formula:

P(X■ = x■, X■ = x■, …, X■ = x■) = n! / (x■!x■!…x■!) × p■■¹ × p■■² × … × p■■■

Where:

n = x■ + x■ + … + x■
p■ + p■ + … + p■ = 1

POISSON DISTRIBUTION
Formula:

P(X = x) = (e^(−λ) × λ■) / x!

Where:

λ = np
e = 2.71828

Mean: µ = λ
Variance: σ² = λ

HYPERGEOMETRIC DISTRIBUTION
Formula:

P(X = x) = [C(K, x) × C(N − K, n − x)] / C(N, n)


Where:

N = population size
K = number of successes in population
n = sample size
x = number of successes in the sample
