Summary
Probability distributions describe the values of random variables and their probabilities. Students learn about discrete and continuous random variables, and binomial and normal distributions.
Random Variables
Random variables are numerical descriptions of experiment outcomes. Discrete random variables have a finite number of values. Continuous random variables can take any value in an interval.
Binomial Probability Distribution
The binomial distribution has a fixed number of trials with two outcomes. The expected value and variance of a binomial distribution are calculated using specific formulas.
Normal Probability Distribution
The normal distribution is symmetrical with a mean, median, and mode that are equal. A standard normal distribution has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
Standard Deviation and Normal Curves
The standard deviation affects the shape of the normal curve. Larger standard deviations result in wider, flatter curves. Z-scores indicate the number of standard deviations from the mean.
