Mean of Exponentially Distributed Random Variable X

Exponential Probability Distribution

A random variable X is said to follow exponential distribution if it follows the following probability mass function. Exponential probability distribution is a continuous distribution. Probability Distribution Function of Exponentially Distributed Variable X   It is heavily used in the Internet traffic modelling and of study queuing models. Numerical Example- Problem- If a computer receives

Expectation of X in Binomial Distribution

Binomial Distribution in Statistics

Let X be a random variable, it is said to follow binomial distribution if it follows the following probability mass function. And it can have only non-negative values. The binomial distribution is a discrete probability distribution. Binomial distribution is used to model problems, for instance,  getting  number of success after certain  number of random experiments

Central Limit Theorem and Normal Distribution

  Why is normal distribution is important? To understand the question you have to go through the Central Limit Theorem. Central Limit Theorem According to central limit theorem if X1, X2, X3,……Xn are random variables drawn from any probability distribution function with mean  Σμi  and standard deviation Σσi where (i=1,2,3,……n). The sum of random variables

Standard Deviation

Standard Deviation, Variance and Covariance

Standard Deviation Variance and Covariance Standard deviation, variance and covariance have very important applications in machine learning and data science. Further, they are closely related to each other. In feature reduction techniques, such as PCA ( Principle Component Analysis) features are selected based on  high variance.  In this post I will explain standard deviation, variance

Skewness and Kurtosis

Skewness and Kurtosis- Introduction- Skewness and Kurtosis are very important  concepts in statistics and have several applications.  In addition, they characterize the nature of data distribution which make data analysis easier. Moreover, I will separately discuss skewness and kurtosis in further sections. Skewness- Skewness  refers the measurement of lack of symmetry in data distribution. Measures
