Distributions give a general description of what the probabilities and events look like. The sample space, which is represented like <math>\Omega</math>, represents the set of all possible outcomes. For example, <math>\Omega = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}</math> would represent the sample space of rolling a die.

Probability distribution is a function that gives the outcome of an event, to their corresponding probabilities. For example, in rolling a fair dice, with $6$ sides, $P(2)$ would be $\frac {1}{2}$.

General Idea

Distributions give a general description of what the probabilities and events look like. The sample space, which is represented like $\Omega$, represents the set of all possible outcomes. For example, $\Omega =$ {$1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$} would represent the sample space of rolling a die.
