The probability histogram above is for successes out of a sample of size n = 20.
The probabilities that n is 0, 1, 2, 18, 19, or 20, are each so low that they do not even show
up as bars on the graph. But there is a measurable probability for each that is just very
small.
Any discrete probability distribution table can be converted to a histogram.
μ = E(x) = [x · P(x)

We can use these histograms to check for skewdness and bell-curve shapes as in earlier
chapters.
Whenever the distribution is symmetric and bell-curves, then it is possible and useful to
compute the mean, standard deviation, and variance of a random variable. We do this using
the probability distribution.
The mean of the random variable is a population mean since it comes from exact
probabilities, and not from sample data. Thus it is often called an expected value.

Transcribed Image Text:6. On page 3 of chapter 4 there is a discrete probability
histogram. On this graph, what are the exact values that count
as the edges for the discrete random variable x = 10?
O The bar is from 9.8 to 10.2
O The bar is from 9.5 to 10.5.
O The bar is from 10 to 11.
The bar is from 9 to 10.
