Estimating Probability Distributions Empirically


Description

In this lesson, students learn that

- They can estimate probability distributions for discrete random variables using data collected from polls or other sources.

- Probabilities from a probability distribution for a discrete random variable can be interpreted in terms of long-run behavior of the random variable.

- An expected value can be calculated from a probability distribution and interpreted as a long-run average.
