Abstract: Abstract A random variable is introduced. More commonly used probabilities are introduced. Discrete probability distributions introduced are binomial probability distribution, multinomial probability distribution, hypergeometric probability distribution, and Poisson probability distribution. Continuous probability distributions introduced are normal probability distribution, Student’s t distribution, F distribution, and Chi-square distribution. Important features are presented in a tabular form. The technique of fitting the data of unknown distribution to known probability distribution is introduced.
