Probability Distribution of Discrete Random

Variable

Example:
x= {HHT, HHT, HTH, TTT, TTH, THT, THH, HTT}

X 0 1 2 3
P(x) 1/8 3/8 3/8 1/8
Means and Variance

Example:

M= -2(0.21) +1(0.34) +2(0.24) +3(0.21)

= -0.42 + 0.34 + 0.48 + 0.63

M= 1.03

M = 3/2

X 0 1 2 3
P(x) 1/8 3/8 3/8 1/8

2. N (45,0.000625)

M= 45

2 =0.000625 The random variables Z lies between negative

-2 and 2.
