Laplace Transform
Introduction to Probability and Statistics

Randomness is everywhere Understanding risks and Big data and surveys


Probability and statistics help us make probabilities With larger sample sizes and more
sense of random events in everyday We use probability and statistics to sophisticated techniques, probability
life, like rolling dice or flipping coins. make informed decisions and assess and statistics are used to analyze and
risks. Normal distribution is widely interpret complex data from surveys
used to understand data variability. and other sources.

Testing hypotheses
We also use probability and statistics
to test hypotheses and draw
conclusions from experimental data.
What is Laplace Transform?

Cumulative distribution

1 Percentiles and quantiles
The Laplace Transform of the cumulative distribution function F(x)
can be used to find percentiles, or the values of x that correspond to
a certain percentage of the distribution. It can also be used to find
quantiles, or the values that divide the distribution into equal parts.

2 Survival function
The Laplace Transform of the survival function S(x)=1-F(x) can be
used to find the reliability function, or the probability that X is greater
than some value x.
