## Some Discrete Probability Distributions In the following sections we will discuss some commonly used discrete probability distributions which are used to predict number of success in finite number ...

In this chapter, we introduce the concept of a random variable and develop the procedures for characterizing random variables, including the cumulative distribution function, as well as the ...

Discrete random variable A random variable that can take only a certain specified set of individual possible values-for example, the positive integers 1, 2, 3, . . .

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 ...

Kahoot and Quizzizz are two examples of such web applications. Ultimately, teaching students to identify discrete and continuous random variables can be a challenging task, but presenting these ...

This paper is concerned with the determination of tight lower and upper bounds on the expectation of a convex function of a random variable. The classic bounds are those of Jensen and ...

Apply arithmetic mean of frequency distribution to find the expected value of a random variable The expected value of discrete random variable as summation of product of discrete random variable ...

In this work, we propose a novel procedure for deriving a discrete counterpart to a continuous probability distribution. This procedure or, better, this class of procedures, is based on an appropriate ...
