Conditional Distributions and Independence

Oftentimes when two random variables (X, Y) are observed, the values of the two variables are related. For example, it may be that knowledge about the value of X gives information about the value of…

Beta Distribution

The beta distribution is the last continuous distribution we will discuss. Like the gamma distribution, the beta distribution earns its name from being associated with the beta function. The beta…

Normal Distribution

In this lesson, we learn about the most important distribution in statistics - the normal distribution. We investigate the probability density function and cumulative distribution function and the…

Gamma Distribution

The gamma family of distributions is a very special family that has many distributions as a specific case. In this lesson, we begin with the gamma function. We then introduce the gamma…

Uniform Distribution

An overview of the uniform distribution is given, including its probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF). The mean, variance, and moment generating function are…

Continuous Distributions: A Review

In this lesson, a brief review of the general properties of continuous distributions is provided. The end of the lesson is a comparison of the properties for continuous and discrete distributions.

Poisson Distribution

The Poisson distribution is different from all of the discrete distributions we have considered up until this point. Instead of counting the number of "successes" or counting the number of…

Negative Binomial Distribution

The negative binomial distribution is an extension of the geometric distribution, and so is also related to the Bernoulli distribution. Whereas the geometric distribution results from counting the…

Geometric Distribution

Like the binomial and hypergeometric distributions, the geometric distribution is related to the Bernoulli(p) distribution. Unlike the binomial and hypergeometric distributions, the geometric…

Binomial Distribution

The binomial distribution is introduced through its unique connection to the Bernoulli distribution through what is called a Bernoulli process. The probability mass function is derived and proven to…

Bernoulli Distribution

The Bernoulli and binomial distributions are used for modeling a dichotomous experiment or a sequence of independent dichotomous experiments, respectively. Alone, both distributions apply to a wide…

Discrete Uniform Distribution

The discrete uniform distribution is one of the simplest discrete distributions. In this lesson, the distribution is defined via its probability mass function. The cumulative distribution function…

Moment Generating Function

In this video, the moment generating (MGF) is defined. Its utility for finding the moments of a distribution is presented and illustrated. Following two examples, the use of the MGF for equating…
