Discrete Random Variable and Probability Mass Function Data Science and A.I. Lecture Series A random variable is said to be discrete if it has either a finite or a countable number of values. Countable values are those which can be arranged in a sequence, corresponding to natural numbers. Example: Number of students present each […]

Random Variables and Probability Distributions Introduction to Random Variables In many experiments, we are interested in a numerical characteristic associated with outcomes of a random experiment. A random variable (RV) is a function that assigns a numerical value to each outcome of a random experiment. Example: Consider tossing a fair die twice and defining \(

Problems Using Both Addition and Multiplicative Laws Data Science and A.I. Lecture Series PostNetwork Academy Probability Laws The addition law of probability states: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A \cap B) \] The multiplicative law of probability for independent events states: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B) \]

Conditional Probability and Multiplicative Law Data Science and A.I. Lecture Series Conditional Probability Conditional probability represents the likelihood of an event \( A \), given that another event \( B \) has already occurred. It is defined as: \[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}, \quad \text{if } P(B) > 0. \] Example: Deck

Subjective Approach to Probability Data Science and A.I. Lecture Series Author: Bindeshwar Singh Kushwaha What is the Subjective Approach? The subjective approach to probability is based on personal judgment, intuition, wisdom, and expertise. Unlike the classical or frequency-based approaches, it focuses on individual beliefs about the likelihood of an event. When to Use the
