Distributions
Probability distribution is a function that gives the outcome of an event, to their corresponding probabilities. For example, in rolling a fair dice, with sides, would be .
General Symbols/Definitions
Distributions give a general description of what the probabilities and events look like. The sample space, which is represented like , represents the set of all possible outcomes. For example, {} would represent the sample space of rolling a die.
The difference between Discrete and Continuous, is that discrete has a finite possible number of outcomes, and continuous has an infinite number of outcomes, like measuring the weight of block of cheese, it could be or it could be .
