What really is the difference btw finding the probability of say..."getting 2 heads in a coin tossed three times" and "Finding the Probability mass function of a Random Variable 2"?? Their concepts are so similar but I feel I'm thinking wrong and there's actually a difference! by Independent-Office80 Oh. Doesn’t really explain much. But thanks a lot for taking your time to explain the previous. Means alot! Permalink Parent 1

Could you elaborate on the inner workings of the PMF? Like, how it’s calculated on the inside? Thanks! Permalink Parent 1
