Vectors (mathematics and physics) | Probability theory

Probability vector

In mathematics and statistics, a probability vector or stochastic vector is a vector with non-negative entries that add up to one. The positions (indices) of a probability vector represent the possible outcomes of a discrete random variable, and the vector gives us the probability mass function of that random variable, which is the standard way of characterizing a discrete probability distribution. (Wikipedia).

Random variables, means, variance and standard deviations | Probability and Statistics

We introduce the idea of a random variable X: a function on a probability space. Associated to such a function is something called a probability distribution, which assigns probabilities, say p_1,p_2,...,p_n to the various possible values of X, say x_1,x_2,...,x_n. The probabilities p_i h

Probability DISTRIBUTIONS for Discrete Random Variables (9-3)

A Probability Distribution: a mathematical description of (a) all possible outcomes for a random variable, and (b) the probabilities of each outcome occurring. Can be tabular (i.e., frequency table) or graphical (i.e., bar chart or histogram). For a discrete random variable, the underlying
