Definition: Continuous CDF A continuous random variable can take an infinite number of values in a given range. The Probability Density Function (PDF) \( f(x) \) describes the likelihood of \( X \) falling within a small interval. The Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) is given by: \[ F(x) = P[X \leq x] = \int_{-\infty}^{x}

Continuous Random Variable and Probability Density Function Data Science and A.I. Lecture Series Continuous Random Variable and Probability Density Function A random variable is continuous if it can take any real value within a given range. Instead of probability mass function, we use probability density function (PDF), denoted by \( f(x) \). The probability

Discrete Random Variable and Probability Mass Function Data Science and A.I. Lecture Series A random variable is said to be discrete if it has either a finite or a countable number of values. Countable values are those which can be arranged in a sequence, corresponding to natural numbers. Example: Number of students present each

Random Variables and Probability Distributions Introduction to Random Variables In many experiments, we are interested in a numerical characteristic associated with outcomes of a random experiment. A random variable (RV) is a function that assigns a numerical value to each outcome of a random experiment. Example: Consider tossing a fair die twice and defining \(

Bayes’ Theorem and Examples Formula The formula for Bayes’ Theorem is given by: $$ P(E_i | A) = \frac{P(E_i) P(A | E_i)}{\sum_{j=1}^{n} P(E_j) P(A | E_j)} $$ Key Terminology \(E_i\) are hypotheses or possible causes. \(P(E_i)\) is the prior probability of \(E_i\). \(P(E_i | A)\) is the posterior probability of \(E_i\). The denominator ensures

Law of Total Probability and Examples Data Science and A.I. Lecture Series By Bindeshwar Singh Kushwaha, PostNetwork Academy Partition of a Sample Space A set of events \(E_1, E_2, E_3, E_4\) represents a partition of the sample space \(S\) if: \( E_i \cap E_j = \emptyset \) for \( i \neq j \) (pairwise disjoint).

Problems Using Both Addition and Multiplicative Laws Data Science and A.I. Lecture Series PostNetwork Academy Probability Laws The addition law of probability states: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A \cap B) \] The multiplicative law of probability for independent events states: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B) \]

Conditional Probability and Multiplicative Law Data Science and A.I. Lecture Series Conditional Probability Conditional probability represents the likelihood of an event \( A \), given that another event \( B \) has already occurred. It is defined as: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}, \quad \text{if } P(B) > 0. \] Example: Deck
