Professor of the Practice in Statistics
This lecture introduces the foundational concepts of random variables and their distributions. It formally defines cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) and probability mass functions (PMFs), culminating in an analysis of the Hypergeometric distribution.
Much of this course is about random variables and their distributions. The relationship between a random variable and its distribution can seem subtle but it is essential! We discuss distributions, cumulative distribution functions (CDFs), probability mass functions (PMFs), and the Hypergeometric distribution.
