Lecture 4: RandomVariables and DistributionsGoals Working with Distributions in R Overview of discrete and continuousdistributions important in genetics/genomics Random VariablesRandom Variables ! "01-1A rv is any rule ( , function) that associatesa number with each outcome in the samplespaceTwo Types of Random Variables A discrete Random variable has acountable number of possible values A continuous Random variable takes allvalues in an interval of numbersProbability Distributions of RVsDiscreteLet X be a discrete rv. Then the probability mass function (pmf), f(x),of X is:!
The expected or mean value of a continuous rv X with pdf f(x) is: Discrete ... probability distribution - referred to as a sampling distribution •Let’s focus on the sampling distribution of the mean,! X . Behold The Power of the CLT •Let X 1,X 2
