The previous article introduced two distributions and Poisson distributions.

This article will introduceUniform Distribution,Exponential DistributionAndNormal Distribution.

3. Uniform Distribution (Uniform)

If the random variable XDensity functionsIs

The random variable X follows an even distribution in the range [a, B. As x ~ U (A, B ).

Evenly distributedDistribution FunctionsIs

Mathematical expectation of uniform distribution E (x) = 1/(2 * (B + a), variance is d (x) = 1/(12 * (B-) 2 ).

4. Exponential Distribution

If the random variable X'sDensity functionsIs

Where λ> 0 is a constant, the random variable X follows the exponential distribution of the parameter λ. Shows the density function image:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exponential DistributionDistribution FunctionsIs:

 

Mathematical expectation E (x) = 1/λ, variance is d (x) = 1/λ 2. Shows the histogram image of exponential distribution:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The larger the value of λ, the faster the slope of the curve changes.

 

5. Normal Distribution

If the density function of the continuous random variable X is

Here,-∞ <x <+ ∞, and-∞ <μ <+ ∞, σ are parameters. The random variable X follows the normal distribution of the parameter (μ, σ 2) and is recorded as X ~ N (μ, σ 2)

If μ = 0, σ = 1, n (0, 1) is the standard normal distribution.

Normal Distribution has the following features:

① When μ changes but σ remains unchanged, the image moves along the X axis, and the image shape does not change.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

② μs remain unchanged, while σ changes, the position of the image remains unchanged, but the morphology changes. The larger σ, the fatter the image.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

③ Curves have inflection points at points x = μ-σ and x = μ + σ.
