Probability Distributions-II

CO 79: Identify the behavior of the discrete population and sample and their distribution.

CO 80: Derive the probability distributions function of random variables and use these techniques to generate data from various distributions.

CO 81: Identify the behavior of the continuous population and sample and their distribution.

CO 82: Analyze the behavior of the data by Fitting the discrete and continuous distributions.

CO 83: Translate real-world sample problems into probability distributions and give an appropriate inference.
