Document Summary

Discrete random variables can only take integer values refering to counts of something. A distribution of this is called a probability mass funciton (p(x)), e. g. bionomial, poisson. The cumulative distribution function will be a step function. Continuous random variable can take any value within a range of values. A distribution of this is called a probability density funciton (f(x)), e. g. normal. Area under the graph = 1, all values must be positive. Quantiles: the q-quantile of x (cq), is such that the probability of observing a value of x smaller than it, is about q. Expected value: e(x) or centre of mass of the data. E(x + y) = e(x) + e(y) and e(a + bx) = a + be(x) Variance: weighted average of square derivations from the mean. var(ax)=a2var(x) ; var(x + y) = var(x) + var(y ). standard deviation: square root of the variance.
