    p(:) can mean di erent things depending on the context p(X) denotes the distribution (PMF/PDF) of an r.v. X p(X = x) or p(x) denotes the probability or probability density at point x Actual meaning should be clear from the context (but be careful) Exercise the same care when p(:) is a speci c distribution (Bernoulli, Beta, Gaussian, etc.)

    The sample space is effectively forgotten. (In other words, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a fair coin and a Bernoulli random variable taking a value of 1 when the coin lands heads-up after being flipped, or a fair die being rolled and a Bernoulli random variable taking a value of 1 when the number rolled is even.) Example 1

    Oct 23, 2020 · Around 99.7% of values are within 3 standard deviations from the mean. Example: Using the empirical rule in a normal distribution You collect SAT scores from students in a new test preparation course. The data follows a normal distribution with a mean score (M) of 1150 and a standard deviation (SD) of 150. Following the empirical rule:

    The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of the experiment. We usually call it S. It is important to be able to list the outcomes clearly. For example, if I plant ten bean seeds and count the number that germinate, the sample space is S ={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}. If I toss a coin three times and record the result, the sample space is
