Probability Distributions:
A probability distribution describes how the values of a random variable are distributed. In other
words, it specifies the probability of each possible outcome (for discrete random variables) or the
probability of outcomes within a range (for continuous random variables). Probability distributions
are foundational in statistics and data science, as they allow us to model uncertainty, make
predictions, and draw inferences from data.

Types of Probability Distributions:


1. Discrete Probability Distributions:
o Binomial Distribution
o Poisson Distribution

2. Continuous Probability Distributions:


o Normal Distribution
o Exponential Distribution
o Uniform Distribution:

1. Discrete Probability Distributions:


Binomial Distribution: if x is a discrete random variable and it follows the Binomial Distribution then
the probability mass function of Binomial Distribution.

WHERE

RULES:
Example:
A coin is tossed 12 times, what is the probability of that the getting head is at least 10 times.

As per formula:
N=12
X=10, 11, 12
P=1/2=0.5
Q=1/2=0.5
Task: at most means below values
