Key Concepts

Variance

Variance is a measure of the dispersion or spread of a random variable's probability distribution. It quantifies the average squared deviation of each value from the mean, thereby indicating how much the outcomes vary from the expected value. A higher variance indicates a wider spread of values in the distribution.

Expected Value (Mean)

The expected value or mean of a discrete random variable is the weighted average of all possible values, with each value weighted by its probability. It is a measure of the central tendency of the distribution, providing insight into the average outcome one can expect over many trials.

Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF)

The cumulative distribution function (CDF) for a discrete random variable represents the probability that the variable will take a value less than or equal to a given number. It is obtained by summing the probabilities of all outcomes up to that value, and its graph is typically a step function that increases and eventually reaches 1.

Discrete Random Variable

A discrete random variable is a variable that can take on a countable number of distinct values. It is used in probability and statistics to model outcomes of categorical or countable random phenomena, where each value has an associated probability.

Probability Distribution Function (PMF)

The probability mass function (PMF) describes the probabilities of each possible outcome of a discrete random variable. It assigns a probability value to each value that the random variable can assume, and the sum of all probabilities in the PMF equals 1. Graphing the PMF usually involves plotting these probabilities against the values of the random variable.
