Introduction to random variables

Jan 20, 20096 likes6,724 views

This document provides an introduction to random variables. It defines random variables as functions that assign real numbers to outcomes of an experiment. Random variables can be either discrete or continuous depending on whether their possible values are countable or uncountable. The document also defines probability mass functions (pmf) which describe the probabilities of discrete random variables taking on particular values. Expectation is introduced as a way to summarize random variables using a single number by taking a weighted average of all possible outcomes.

This document provides an overview of key concepts related to random variables and probability distributions. It discusses: - Two types of random variables - discrete and continuous. Discrete variables can take countable values, continuous can be any value in an interval. - Probability distributions for discrete random variables, which specify the probability of each possible outcome. Examples of common discrete distributions like binomial and Poisson are provided. - Key properties and calculations for discrete distributions like expected value, variance, and the formulas for binomial and Poisson probabilities. - Other discrete distributions like hypergeometric are introduced for situations where outcomes are not independent. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating probabilities for each type of distribution.

Discrete uniform distributionsArpit Surana

This document provides information about discrete uniform distributions. It defines a uniform distribution as one where all probabilities are the same. It gives an example of a 4-sided spinner where the probability of landing on any side is 1/4. The mean, median, mode, and variance of uniform distributions are discussed. For a uniform distribution, the mean is the average of the possible values, the median is the same as the mean, and there is no single mode since all outcomes are equally likely. Variance measures how spread out the possible values are from the average.

Discrete Probability Distributionsmandalina landy

This document discusses several discrete probability distributions: 1. Binomial distribution - For experiments with a fixed number of trials, two possible outcomes, and constant probability of success. The probability of x successes is given by the binomial formula. 2. Geometric distribution - For experiments repeated until the first success. The probability of the first success on the xth trial is p(1-p)^(x-1). 3. Poisson distribution - For counting the number of rare, independent events occurring in an interval. The probability of x events is (e^-μ μ^x)/x!, where μ is the mean number of events.

Bernoullis Random Variables And Binomial Distributionmathscontent

Bernoulli and binomial random variables are used to model success/failure experiments. A Bernoulli variable represents a single trial with outcomes success (1) and failure (0). A binomial variable counts the number of successes in n independent Bernoulli trials. The probability of x successes in n trials is given by the binomial distribution. Its mean and variance can be derived. The moment generating function of the binomial distribution helps compute moments like variance.

They can be solved by rewriting all terms to have the same base, setting the exponents equal, and solving the resulting equation.

Random variable,Discrete and ContinuousBharath kumar Karanam

Random variables can be either discrete or continuous. A discrete random variable takes on countable values, while a continuous random variable can take on any value within a range. The probability distributions for discrete and continuous random variables are different. A discrete probability distribution lists each possible value and its probability, while a continuous distribution is described using a probability density function. Random variables are used widely in statistics and probability to model outcomes of experiments and random phenomena.

Stellar evolutionPrashant Kumar Sharma

1. Stellar evolution begins with the fragmentation of massive molecular clouds into smaller masses, each initiating their own star formation process. 2. As clouds collapse under gravity, the gravitational energy is transformed to radiation through molecular hydrogen and dust grains, causing an isothermal collapse. Further collapse becomes adiabatic as stars become opaque. 3. Stars sustain themselves through nuclear fusion, with more massive stars having shorter lifespans than less massive stars due to the greater energy requirements. 4. Stellar remnants include white dwarfs, neutron stars, pulsars, and black holes, depending on the star's original mass.

Stars - Stellar EvolutionBantay's Earth Science!

A star is a hot ball of mostly hydrogen gas held together by gravity. In the core, nuclear fusion reactions generate energy by converting hydrogen to helium. This process is called stellar evolution. As the star's fuel is depleted, its structure changes. Stars evolve through different stages over their lifetimes, from main sequence stars to red giants or supergiants and eventually ending as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes depending on their original mass.

The document discusses nucleosynthesis and the origins and life cycles of stars. It explains that elements were first formed in the early universe after the Big Bang as it cooled. Stars then formed from clouds of gas and dust, and nuclear fusion in their cores generated heavier elements. Stars have different classifications based on attributes like temperature, color, size and brightness. They are born, evolve through stages like red giants, and die, sometimes in supernovas. Their deaths leave behind remnants like neutron stars or black holes.

Stellar Nucleosynthesis by Tarun P. Roshan, CHSTRIVER

- Hydrogen and helium were formed in the early universe after the Big Bang, while all other elements have been synthesized through nuclear fusion processes inside stars. - Stars generate energy through nuclear fusion reactions like the proton-proton chain or CNO cycle, which fuse hydrogen into helium. Further reactions like the triple-alpha process fuse helium into carbon. - As stars evolve and age, heavier elements are produced through successive nuclear fusion processes up to iron, which has the highest binding energy. Elements heavier than iron are produced through s-process and r-process neutron capture. - When stars run out of nuclear fuel and can no longer fuse elements, their cores collapse in supernova explosions, seeding the

Formation of Light and Heavy ElementsJerome Bigael

There were three main processes that led to the formation of elements: 1) Primordial nucleosynthesis formed light elements like hydrogen and helium shortly after the Big Bang due to the extremely high temperatures. 2) Stellar nucleosynthesis fused lighter elements inside stars, producing heavier elements up to iron through processes like the carbon cycle and triple alpha process. 3) Supernovae were needed to form elements heavier than iron via neutron capture reactions, as these require more energy than can be provided by fusion alone.

The document discusses analyzing NBA shooting data from the 2008-2009 season to determine the most accurate shooters. It uses R and packages like plyr and ggplot2 to calculate shooting percentages for players and teams, then creates graphs to visualize the results. The highest percentages belong to players like Eddy Curry, Steven Hill, and Marcus Williams who all shot 100% on 1-2 attempts for the season.

16 critiqueHadley Wickham

The document discusses exploratory data graphics and principles for critiquing graphics. It introduces the "four C's" framework for critique: content, construction, context, and consumption. It also discusses the grammar of graphics as an abstraction for reasoning about and communicating graphics, focusing on the key components of layers, data mappings, geoms, and statistics. Multiple examples are provided and attendees are prompted to practice converting between textual descriptions and ggplot code.

15 time-spaceHadley Wickham

The document discusses visualizing time series data on baby names by state in the US from 1960-2008. It demonstrates plotting trends in a name's popularity over time both nationally and by individual state, and explores techniques like smoothing, centering, and scaling the data to better analyze patterns. Maps showing the geographic distribution of a name's popularity in different states in also presented.

14 case-studyHadley Wickham

This document discusses analyzing name usage data from a dataset containing boy and girl name usage over time. It uses the plyr package to summarize a subset of names that are used for both boys and girls, looking at the number of years each name has been used and its average usage. Graphs are created to examine patterns in the log ratio of boy to girl usage for selected names over 50 years that had average usage over 0.0005. The analysis aims to understand how usage of these unisex names has changed over time and to potentially estimate error rates in the data.

13 case-studyHadley Wickham

This document discusses a case study analyzing gender trends in baby names: 1. It focuses on analyzing a smaller subset of the most popular names over time. 2. The document computes summary statistics like the proportion of babies given each name that were boys or girls and the number of years each name was in the top 1000 for boys and girls. 3. Names are classified as either having dual or separate gender usage over time based on the ratio of boy to girl name assignments each year.

11 adv-manipHadley Wickham

1. Split the data frame into pieces by name using ddply() or split(). 2. Apply a function like summarise() to each piece to calculate the sum of people with that name. 3. Combine the results into a new data frame with the total for each name. This allows grouping operations like calculating a summary statistic for each unique value in a variable. The data is split, a function is applied to each group, and then combined into a single data frame with the results.

11 adv-manipHadley Wickham

This document discusses advanced data manipulation techniques in R using packages like plyr and ggplot2. It covers slicing and dicing data frames using functions like subset, summarise, transform and arrange. It also discusses merging data from multiple sources and performing group-wise operations on data. Brainstorming ideas include exploring trends in baby names data over time by variables like first letter, length, rankings, and merging with additional data sources.

10 simulationHadley Wickham

This document discusses simulation and random number generation. It covers using floating figures with captions in homework, including comments in code, calculating probabilities and expected values mathematically for simulations, generating random numbers from different distributions using functions like runif and rnorm, pseudorandom number generation in computers using linear congruential generators, and sources of true randomness like atmospheric noise.
