Hey Developer’s, I’m back with a new topic which is Discrete and Continuous Probability in the series of statistics foundations.
Quick Refresher
Rule of Subtraction: P(A) = 1 – P(A’)
Rule of Multiplication : P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A)
Rule of Addition : P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
So, let’s get started …
Discrete and Continuous Probability
Discrete Probability : Finite set of unique values
- Coin toss, die roll, number of fans in the house
- P(E) = 1/N given N possible events, assuming all events qually likely
Continuous Probability : Infinite set of values
- Person’s height, amount of rainfall in a day, speed of a car
- P(you are 1.22m tall) = 0 unless you round people’s height
- Instead, better to measure intervals, Ex: P(1.22 <h<1.23)
Next Post will be on Counting Sample Points
