MEAN OF DISCRETE

PROBABILITY
DISTRIBUTION
PREPARED BY: KENT JOHN M. LANITON
DISCRETE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION
• Discrete probability distribution is a type of probability distribution that
shows all possible values of a discrete random variable along with the
associated probabilities.
• There are two conditions that a discrete probability distribution must
satisfy. These are given as follows:
• 0 ≤ P(X = x) ≤ 1. This implies that the probability of a discrete random
variable, X, taking on an exact value, x, lies between 0 and 1.
∑P(X = x) =1. The sum of all probabilities must be equal to 1.
DISCRETE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION
EXAMPLE:
• Suppose a fair dice is rolled and the discrete probability distribution
has to be created. The possible outcomes are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
Thus, the total number of outcomes will be 6. All numbers have a
fair chance of turning up. This means that the probability of getting
any one number is 1 / 6. Using this data the discrete probability
distribution table for a dice roll can be given as follows
FORMULAS:

• Discrete Probability Distribution PMF


F(x) = P(X = x)
• Discrete Probability Distribution CDF
F(x) = P(X ≤ x)
• Discrete Probability Distribution Mean
E[X] = ∑x P(X = x)
• Discrete Probability Distribution Variance
Var[X] = ∑(x – μ)2 P(X = x)
COMMON TYPES OF DISCRETE
PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION:
• Bernoulli Distribution
• A Bernoulli distribution is a type of a discrete probability distribution where the random
variable can either be equal to 0 (failure) or be equal to 1 (success). The probability of
getting a success is p and that of a failure is 1 – p. It is denoted as X ∼ Bernoulli (p). The
pmf is expressed as follows:
P(X = x) = {p,Ifx=11−p,Ifx=0
• Binomial Distribution
• A binomial distribution is a discrete probability distribution that gives the success probability
in n Bernoulli trials. The probability of getting a success is given by p. It is represented as X
∼ Binomial(n, p). The pmf is given as follows:
P(X = x) = (nx)px(1−p)n−x
COMMON TYPES OF DISCRETE
PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION
• Geometric Distribution
• A geometric distribution is another type of discrete probability distribution that represents the
probability of getting a number of successive failures till the first success is obtained. It is given
by X ∼ G(p). The formula for the pmf is given as follows:
P(X = x) = (1 – p)x p, where p is the success probability of the trial.
• Poisson Distribution
Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that is widely used in the field of
finance. It gives the probability that a given number of events will take place within a fixed time
period. The notation is written as X ∼ Pois(λ), where λ>0. The pmf is given by the following
formula:P(X =x)=λxe−λx!
