Key Topics to Revise

1

Random Variables and Their Types

  • A random variable assigns numerical values to outcomes of a random experiment.
  • Discrete random variables take specific, countable values (e.g., number of heads in coin tosses).
  • Continuous random variables can take any value in an interval (e.g., time taken to complete a task).
2

Probability Distribution of a Discrete Random Variable

  • A probability distribution lists all possible values of a random variable and their corresponding probabilities.
  • Two conditions must be satisfied: (1) Each probability is ≥ 0, (2) Sum of all probabilities = 1.
  • This is often shown in a table format.
3

Mean, Variance, and Standard Deviation

  • Mean (expected value) is the long-run average value of repetitions of the experiment.
  • Variance measures how spread out the values are from the mean.
  • Standard deviation is the square root of variance and is in the same units as the variable.
4

Binomial Distribution

  • Used when there are fixed number of independent trials, each with two outcomes: success or failure.
  • Probability of success (p) remains constant across trials.
  • X ~ B(n, p) means X follows binomial distribution with parameters n and p.
