Probability distribution Definition with example: The total set of all the probabilities of a random variable to attain all the possible values. Let me give an example. We toss a coin 3 times and try to find what the probability of obtaining head is? Here the event of getting head is known as the random variable. Now what are the possible values of the random variable‚ i.e. what is the possible number of times that head might occur? It is 0 (head never occurs)‚ 1 (head occurs once out of 2 tosses)

skills can be used anytime and anywhere. For instance‚ the mathematical usage of probability can aid people in smart decision making‚ and can help people understand their odds. Statistically‚ probability refers to the relative possibility that an event will occur‚ as expressed by the ratio of the number of actual occurrences to the total number of possible occurrences (SOURCE). A rather obvious activity where probability applies is to is gambling. Casino games‚ such as Texas Hold Em’‚ can be played
