  3. x = 0, 1, 2 For discrete distributions, f(x) is called the probabilityfunction. f(c) = P(X = c) Flip 2 coins, X = # heads

  4. For discrete distributions, F(x) is called the cumulativedistributionfunction, or cdf. F(c) = P(X < c) Flip 2 coins, X = # heads xf(x)F(x) 0 1 2 .25 .50 .25 .25 .75 1.00

  5. x = 0, 1, 2, 3 X = # of side effects from a certain medication P(X = 0) = f(0) = .375 P(X = 1) = f(1) = .325

  7. Mean of a discrete distribution m = E(X) = x • f(x) Variance of a discrete distribution s2 = Var(X) = (x - m)2 • f(x) Standard deviation,
