1. Introduction to Probability Distributions

Every event in the real world, whether it\’s the stock market fluctuation or the lifespan of a light bulb, can be modeled using probability. But what is a probability distribution, and why is it so crucial?

A probability distribution is a statistical function that describes all the possible values and likelihoods that a random variable can take within a given range. In simpler terms, it provides the probabilities of occurrence of different possible outcomes in an experiment.

2. Why are Probability Distributions Essential?

Understanding distributions is like holding a map while navigating the vast landscape of data science…

[This section can delve into the importance of modeling randomness, uncertainty, and variability in data science processes.]

3. Common Probability Distributions

– Uniform Distribution:

Imagine a die. When you roll it, the chance of landing on any one of its six faces is the same…

– Binomial Distribution:
