A probability mass function (PMF) is a function that gives the probability of each possible value of a discrete random variable. It provides a complete description of the distribution of probabilities for all outcomes, ensuring that the total probability sums up to one. The PMF is essential for calculating probabilities related to discrete distributions, like the binomial distribution, which deals with the number of successes in a fixed number of independent Bernoulli trials.
