Probability Distribution
Definition:
A probability distribution
may be defined as a
non-negative real function of all possible outcomes of some random
event. The sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes is
defined as 1, and probabilities can never be negative.
Example:
A coin toss has two outcomes, ``heads'' (H) or ``tails'' (T),
which are equally likely if the coin is ``fair''. In this case, the
probability distribution is
