Introduction to Data Science Probability Distributions Introduction

Probability Distribution

Probability Distribution is defined as a mathematical function that gives the probabilities of occurrence of different possible outcomes for an experiment.

Let us consider an Example of tossing a coin, the possible outcomes are head or a tail ,

The probability of getting a head is $\frac{1}{2}$ ,similarly for getting a tail is also the same which is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

In the case of rolling a die, the possible outcomes is getting a number from 1 to 6,

And for getting “1” after rolling a die is $\frac{1}{6}$ , similarly for getting “2”,”3”,”4”,”5”,”6” is also the same which is $\frac{1}{6}$ respectively .
