Normal Distribution – Numerical Problems with Solutions

Normal Distribution – Numerical Problems with Solutions Author: Bindeshwar Singh Kushwaha Platform: PostNetwork Academy 1. Definition of Normal Distribution A continuous random variable $X$ follows a Normal Distribution with mean $\mu$ and variance $\sigma^2$ if its probability density function (PDF) is: $$ f(x) = \frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2\pi}} e^{ -\frac{(x – \mu)^2}{2\sigma^2} }, \quad -\infty < x […]

Normal Distribution A Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation

Normal Distribution A Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation By Bindeshwar Singh Kushwaha PostNetwork Academy Introduction: Random Variables A random variable (r.v.) is a function that assigns a numerical value to each outcome of a random experiment. There are two main types of random variables: Discrete Random Variable: Takes countable values (e.g., number of heads in 3 coin

Negative Binomial Distribution | Simple Explanation #177 Data Sc. and A.I. Lect. Series

Negative Binomial Distribution A Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation By Bindeshwar Singh Kushwaha PostNetwork Academy Introduction: Relation with Geometric Distribution The negative binomial distribution is a generalization of the geometric distribution. It describes the number of failures before the \( r^{th} \) success in a sequence of Bernoulli trials. When \( r = 1 \), it reduces

Hypergeometric Distribution A Distribution of Dependent Events #175 Data Sc. and A.I. Lect. Series

    Hypergeometric Distribution : A Distribution of Dependent Events By Bindeshwar Singh Kushwaha PostNetwork Academy Introduction In the previous sections, we studied distributions such as the binomial distribution. The binomial distribution assumes that each trial is independent and the probability of success remains constant. However, in many real-life problems, selections are made without replacement.

Poisson Distribution | Data Sc. and A.I. Lect. Series

📘 Understand Poisson Distribution 📌 Introduction In binomial distributions, events’ occurrences and non-occurrences are equally important. However, in real-life situations: Events do not occur as outcomes of fixed number of trials. Events occur randomly over time. Interest lies only in the number of occurrences. Examples: Number of printing mistakes per page in a book. Number
