FOR DISCRETE FUNCTIONS

ANSWER WILL ALWAYS BE IN

TABLE FORMAT

probability function

cumulative function

Discrete random
variables always
in table formatting

f(x) supposed to add

to 1
from table above these can be plotted
x is >3... hence arrow
instead of open dot

solid dot is <=

open dot is <
dashed line is the shift
 plug in x values

from properties
 is showing the
probability value

NB. probability under the entire

curve = 1
lower lim = -inf
upper lim = 0

falls into two intervals

 change y keep x
constant and vice
versa

' for all x,y values'

hold x, interchange y

Marginal Probability

NB. discrete in table form

Continuous in curly brackets over a range of values
x = 2,3,4
y = 1,2
