Random variable A random variable is a function
that assigns a numerical value
to each possible outcome of a
random experiment. In other
words, it is a mathematical
representation of an
uncertainty.
Continuous Random A continuous random variable is
Variable a random variable that can take
any value in an interval or in an
infinite set of values. In other
words, the possible values are
not limited to discrete or
countable values as in the case
of a discrete random variable.
Discrete Random A discrete random variable is a
Variable variable that takes finite
numerical or numerable values,
i.e., it can only take certain
specific values and cannot take
continuous values in a given
range.
Probability Distribution The probability distribution is a
function that describes the
probability that a random
variable will take specific values
or fall within a given range of
values. This function is used to
model random events and
predict their outcomes based on
the probability of each possible
outcome.
Continuous Probability A continuous probability
Distribution distribution is a mathematical
model that describes the
probability of occurrence of a
continuous random variable.

Discrete Probability A discrete probability

Distribution distribution is a mathematical
model that describes the
probability of occurrence of a
discrete random variable.

Media Refers to the measure of

central tendency that
represents the typical value of a
data set. The mean is
calculated by summing all the
values in a data set and dividing
the sum by the number of data.
Standard Deviation Standard deviation is a
measure of dispersion that
indicates how much data
deviate from their mean. In
other words, the standard
deviation measures the
variability or dispersion of the
data in a data set.
Expected Value The expected value (also
known as mathematical
expectation or mean) is a
numerical measure of the
"typical" or "average" of a
random variable.

Variance Variance is a measure of the

dispersion of a random variable
around its expected value.
Probability Function The probability function is a
mathematical function that
describes the probability of
each possible value of a
discrete random variable. The
probability function is used to
model and analyze discrete
data and is an important
property of discrete probability
distributions.
Function of density A mathematical function that
describes the probability that a
continuous random variable will
take a value in a specific
interval. It is used to model and
analyze continuous data and is
an important property of
continuous probability
distributions.
Binomial Distribution The binomial distribution is a
discrete probability distribution
that describes the number of
successes in a sequence of n
independent and identical trials,
where each trial has a
probability p of success.
Poisson distribution The Poisson distribution is a
discrete probability distribution
that describes the probability of
a number of events in a given
time or space interval, given a
known average occurrence
rate.
Exponential Distribution The exponential distribution is a
continuous probability
distribution used to model the
time between successive
events that occur independently
and at a constant rate.
Normal Distribution The normal distribution is a
continuous probability
distribution whose density
function is bell-shaped and
symmetric about its mean. It is
an important tool in statistics
and scientific research, as it can
be used to model a wide variety
of phenomena in different fields.
Standard Normal The standard normal
Distribution distribution is a normal
distribution with a mean of zero
and a standard deviation of
one. The probability density
function of the standard normal
distribution is symmetric and
has a bell shape, just like the
normal distribution.
The area under the The area under the curve refers
curve to the area that is bounded by
the curve of a function and the
x-axis in a specific interval. In
the context of statistics and
probability, the area under the
probability density curve
represents the probability that a
random variable takes values
within a specific range of
values.
