1) A probability distribution defines the possible values of a random variable and the probabilities of each value.
2) To be a probability distribution, the sum of the probabilities of all possible values must be 1.
3) Individual probabilities should be between 0 and 1.

Discrete Random Variable and its Properties After going through this lesson, you are expected to: 1. Define probability distribution 2. Determine if the distribution represents a probability distribution Review: Review: Review: Generalization: 1. It is the list of possible values of a random variable X and the corresponding probabilities of the values. ________________________________________ 2. What is the sum of all the probabilities of all values of the random variable? ______________________________________________________________ 3. What should be the probability of each value of the random variable? Write your answer in symbol. ____________________________________________ 4. How will you determine if the given distribution is a probability distribution? ______________________________________________________________ 5. Give different ways of expressing the value of a probability. _______________________________________________________________
