Question 1

What does PMF stand for?

  • Probability Mean Function
  • Probability Mass Function
  • Partial Mass Function

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember it focuses on discrete outcomes.

Question 2

True or False: The sum of the probabilities in a valid PMF is 0.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the definition of a valid PMF and its requirements.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a PMF where the probabilities are P(0) = 0.4, P(1) = x, and P(2) = 0.3. Determine x, ensuring the PMF is valid.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the condition that they must sum to 1.

Question 2

Consider a discrete random variable X with outcomes from a set {1, 2, 3}. If P(X=1) = 0.2, P(X=2) = 0.5, what is P(X=3) needed for normalization?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember normalization requires the total probability to be 1.
