Mathematical function for the probability a given outcome occurs in an experiment
In probability theory and statistics, a probability distribution describes how probabilities are assigned to the possible results of a random phenomenon—more precisely, to events, which are sets of possible outcomes of a probabilistic experiment. Informally, a probability distribution tells us how likely different results are. Formally, it is a probability measure: a function that assigns probabilities to events in a way that satisfies the axioms of probability. Probability distributions are closely linked to random variables. A random variable is a function that assigns a value to each outcome of a probabilistic experiment; it induces a probability distribution on the set of values it can take. For example, the result of a coin toss can be represented by a random variable X {\displaystyle X} that equals 1 {\displaystyle 1} for heads and 0 {\displaystyle 0...
