Mixture (probability)

In probability theory and statistics, a mixture is a probabilistic combination of two or more probability distributions. The concept arises mostly in two contexts: * A mixture defining a new probability distribution from some existing ones, as in a mixture distribution or a compound distribution. Here a major problem often is to derive the properties of the resulting distribution. * A mixture used as a statistical model such as is often used for statistical classification. The model may represent the population from which observations arise as a mixture of several components, and the problem is that of a mixture model, in which the task is to infer from which of a discrete set of sub-populations each observation originated.

How to find the probability of consecutive events

👉 Learn how to find the conditional probability of an event. Probability is the chance of an event occurring or not occurring. The probability of an event is given by the number of outcomes divided by the total possible outcomes. Conditional probability is the chance of an event occurring
