We will cover a few key concepts before moving on to the body of the chapter:
- In the case of discrete distribution, a probability mass function is used to find out the probability, p(X= x), where X is a discrete random variable and x is a real value number.
- In the case of continuous distribution, probability density function is used to find out the probability p(X <= x). In this scenario, a probability curve is plotted and the area under the curve (integration) helps us with the probability.
- Conditional probability is to understand this, a cricket match can be the perfect example. Suppose there is a game scheduled between India and Australia and we are trying to pass on our belief of India triumphing. Do you think that the ...
