Gan L3: Gaussian Probability Distribution 3 n For a binomial distribution: mean number of heads = m = Np = 5000 standard deviation s = [Np(1 - p)]1/2 = 50+ The probability to be within ±1s for this binomial distribution is: n For a Gaussian distribution: + Both distributions give about the same probability! Central Limit Theorem l Gaussian distribution is important because of …

ocw.mit.eduA similar observation holds for normal distributions, exponential distributions, and so on. 2.2 Beta priors and posteriors for binomial random variables. Example 1. Suppose we have a bent coin with unknown probability of heads. We toss it 12 times and get 8 heads and 4 tails. Starting with a at prior, show that the posterior

www.columbia.edu1.3 Examples of well-known distributions Discrete case 1. Bernoulli distribution with success probability p: With 0 < p < 1 a constant, X has p.m.f. p(k) = P(X = k) given by p(1) = p, p(0) = 1−p, p(k) = 0, otherwise. Thus X only takes on the values 1 (success) or 0 (failure). A simple computation yields E(X) = p Var(X) = p(1−p) M(s) = pes ...
