A distribution is a function that describes the probability of different outcomes in a system.
Distributions assign probabilities to possible outcomes.
Description
Distributions summarize the statistical behavior of systems and are essential for predicting outcomes.
Properties
- describes probabilities
- characterizes systems
- used in statistics
