What rule assigns each value of the independent variable to exactly one value of the dependent variable?
It is any invertible function.
How do you get the median of a continuous random variable?
You integrate the probability distribution function to get the cumulative distribution function (cdf). Then find the value of the random variable for which cdf = 0.5.
What does alpha mean in statistics?
In the context of regression, it is the y-intercept: the value of the dependent variable when the independent is zero.
Difference between a random variable and a probability distribution is?
A random variable is a variable that can take different values according to a process, at least part of which is random.For a discrete random variable (RV), a probability distribution is a function that assigns, to each value of the RV, the probability that the RV takes that value.The probability of a continuous RV taking any specificvalue is always 0 and the distribution is a density function such that the probability of the RV taking a value between x and y is the area under the distribution function between x and y.
Why will a density curve always give a probability of zero?
It will not. For the interval (x, x+dx) it may well give a non-zero probability. With a continuous distribution, the probability of any particular value is always 0. What the probability density function gives is the probability that the variable is NEAR the selected value.
