X is a random variable. Over the 'n' instances, values observed are x1, x2,.......xn
Therefore, xi = Observed value of the random variable X at i'th trial. (1<=i<=n)
f is the pmf (probability mass function ) of the random variable X, that is f(x) = P(X=x), the probability that the X takes value x
F is the CDF ( comulative distribution function ).
F(x) = Probability that the X takes values less than or equal to x that is P(X<=x)
F(x) = sum(f(xi)
Sum is over 'i' such that xi <= x
I am trying to fill out the table and find out what does F and little...
An experiment results in either successes or failures each trial (denoted S and F ) and the total experiment is three trials. Here are the possible outcomes of the experiment {SSS, SSF, SF S, F SS, SF F, F SF, F F S, F F F } Let the random variable X denote whether or not a success occurred in the experiment. Assume each outcome above is equally likely. a) Fully define the probability distribution of X. Is this...

The Binomial and Poisson Distributions Both the Binomial and Poisson Distributions deal with discrete data where we are counting the number of occurrences of an event. However, they are very different distributions. This problem will help you be able to recognize a random variable that belongs to the Binomial Distribution, the Poisson Distribution or neither. Characteristics of a Binomial Distribution Characteristics of a Poisson Distribution The Binomial random variable is the count of the number of success in n trials: number of...
The moment generating function ф(t) of random variable X is defined for all values of t by et*p(x), if X is discrete e f (x)dx, if X is continus (a) Find the moment generating function of a Binomial random variable X with parameters n (the total number of trials) and p (the probability of success). (b) If X and Y are independent Binomial random variables with parameters (n1 p) and (n2, p), respectively, then what is the distribution of X...

how to answer this question? The probability mass function (pmf) for the Poisson distribution can be regarded as a limiting form of the binomial pmf if n o and p 0 with np = fi constant. (a) Suppose that 1% of all transistors produced by a certain company are defective. 100 of these chips are selected from the assembly line, Calculate the probability that exactly three of the chips are defective using both a binomial distribution and a Poisson distribution....
