Definition of Probability

The probability of an event refers to the proportion of cases in which the event occurs in repetitions of the experiment.


Problem: A six-faced unbiased die is thrown. What is the probability that the number appearing uppermost is even?


Solution:There are six possible cases viz. 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. These are six elementary events. Since the die is unbiased so the throw is made without giving any preference to any particular face, then the cases are considered equally likely. So now of these six cases, 3 are favorable to the appearance of an even number, viz 2,4 and 6. Hence the required probability will be 3/6=1/2.

Some More Definitions:

An experiment involves chance or probability. In the above sum, throwing a six-faced die is the experiment.


An outcome is the result of an experiment. According to the above problem the outcomes of the throw.


One or more outcomes is an event .Here event of the experiment is getting a even number i.e,2, 4 and 6.


Probability tells us about the likelihood of an event. The probability of number appearing uppermost is even is ½.


P (A) = The Number of ways event A can occur / the total number of possible outcomes.

Probability Distribution Help

Probability Distributions:


Definition

It is defined as a statistical function describing the possible values along with the probabilities that a random variable takes. The fact that the possible values are to be plotted depends on many factors like mean, SD, skewness and kurtosis of the distribution.


The probability theory is very useful. Probability distributions or probability functions list or describe probabilities for all possible occurrences of a random variable. There are two kinds of probability distributions:


Discrete distributions


Continuous distributions


Discrete probability distributions depicts a finite set of possible occurrences, for discrete and not continuous. For example, the number of heads thrown thrice . Here number of heads is discrete, the random variable representing the number of heads are 0, 1, 2 or 3. The probabilities are -Pr(0 head), Pr(1 head), Pr(2 heads) and P(3 heads)-represents the probability distribution for this discrete random variable. Some of the discrete probability distributions are follows:


Binomial


Poisson


Hypergeometric


Negative Binomial


Geometric


Continuous probability distributions are those which occurs continuously without any break. For example, the probability distribution of a marks of students in an examination. Here, the random variable of marks is continuous, since marks can be continuous . Some of the continuous probability distributions are follows:


Uniform or Rectangular


Normal


Log-Normal


Exponential


Double exponential


Pareto


Cauchy


Logistic


Weibull


Chi-square


t-distribution


F-distribution


Probability Calculator

The probability calculator is used to calculate the probability of one event. Also, probability calculator provided by us lets you calculate the probability that a random variable X is in a specified range, for a variety of probability distributions for X. So for various distributions you can calculate the required probability very easily by means of probability calculator.
