Discrete variable's values are also "disjoint," so we have the gaps in a discrete variable's probability distribution graph. While the formula for the expected value of a discrete variable may seem ...

Additionally, you will learn about conditional probability, random variables, probability distributions, and real-life applications of probability.

The alias method of Walker is a clever, new, fast method for generating random variables from an arbitrary, specified discrete distribution. A simple probabilistic proof is given, in terms of mixtures ...

In a number of situations we are faced with the problem of determining efficient estimates of the mean and variance of a distribution specified by (i) a non-zero probability that the variable assumes ...

In statistics, a Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that indicates the likelihood of an event occurring a specified number of times over a given period.

Discover what a log-normal distribution is, its financial applications, and how to calculate it, including using Excel for practical financial analysis.

Explanation: When you roll a die, you either get a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Since there are a finite number of possibilities, the statistic involved is called a discrete random variable.
