Biostatistics
A probability mass function (PMF) is a function that gives the probability of a discrete random variable taking on a specific value. It is essential for defining how probabilities are distributed across the possible values of the random variable, thereby linking the concepts of random variables and probability distributions. A PMF must satisfy two important conditions: the sum of all probabilities must equal one, and each individual probability must be non-negative.
congrats on reading the definition of Probability Mass Function. now let's actually learn it.
