Probability distributions

This section introduces the concept of a random variable and probability distributions that have certain characteristics. The Binomial and Normal distributions are covered in detail

The videos are from Professor Leonard on Youtube. Professor Leonard's videos are detailed, which makes them longer to watch. Settle down with a cup of tea.

A Study of Probability Distributions, Mean, and Standard Deviation [length: 1h:12m:42s]
This video introduces discrete and continuous random variables along with the mean and standard deviation of a random variable.

The binomial distribution [length: 1h:32m:29s]
This video introduces the binomial distribution and how to calculate binomial probabilities, using both the formula and using probability tables.
