1. Discrete Probability Distributions | 离散概率分布

A binomial distribution X ~ B(n, p) models the number of successes in n independent trials, each with success probability p. Its probability mass function is P(X = r) = C(n, r) pʳ (1 – p)ⁿ⁻ʳ, for r = 0, 1, … , n, where C(n, r) = n! / [r! (n – r)!]. The mean is μ = np and the variance is σ² = np(1 – p).

二项分布 X ~ B(n, p) 描述 n 次独立试验中成功的次数，每次成功概率为 p。其概率质量函数为 P(X = r) = C(n, r) pʳ (1 – p)ⁿ⁻ʳ，r = 0, 1, … , n，其中 C(n, r) = n! / [r! (n – r)!]。均值 μ = np，方差 σ² = np(1 – p)。

The Poisson distribution X ~ Po(λ) models the number of events occurring in a fixed interval, with mean rate λ. Its probability mass function is P(X = x) = e⁻λ λˣ / x! for x = 0, 1, 2, … . Both the mean and the variance equal λ. When n is large and p is small, the binomial distribution can be approximated by a Poisson distribution with λ = np.

泊松分布 X ~ Po(λ) 描述固定区间内事件发生的次数，平均发生率为 λ。概率质量函数为 P(X = x) = e⁻λ λˣ / x!, x = 0, 1, 2, … 。其均值和方差都等于 λ。当 n 很大而 p 很小时，二项分布可用参数 λ = np 的泊松分布近似。

A brief summary of key discrete distributions is given in the table below.

2. Expectation, Variance and Distribution Functions | 期望、方差与分布函数

For a discrete random variable X, the expectation (mean) is E(X) = Σ x P(X = x). For any function g(X), E(g(X)) = Σ g(x) P(X = x). The variance is Var(X) = E(X²) – [E(X)]². The cumulative distribution function (CDF) is F(x) = P(X ≤ x) = Σ_{t ≤ x} P(X = t).

对于离散随机变量 X，期望（均值）为 E(X) = Σ x P(X = x)。对于任意函数 g(X)，E(g(X)) = Σ g(x) P(X = x)。方差为 Var(X) = E(X²) – [E(X)]²。累积分布函数 (CDF) 为 F(x) = P(X ≤ x) = Σ_{t ≤ x} P(X = t)。

These ideas extend naturally to continuous variables, where sums become integrals. The linearity of expectation, E(aX + b) = aE(X) + b, and the variance property Var(aX + b) = a² Var(X) are essential tools for simplifying problems.

这些概念自然延伸到连续变量，只需将求和替换为积分。期望的线性性质 E(aX + b) = aE(X) + b 以及方差性质 Var(aX + b) = a² Var(X) 是简化计算的重要工具。

3. Geometric and Negative Binomial Distributions | 几何分布与负二项分布

The geometric distribution X ~ Geo(p) counts the number of trials up to and including the first success. Its probability mass function is P(X = r) = (1 – p)ʳ⁻¹ p, for r = 1, 2, 3, … . The mean is 1/p and the variance is (1 – p) / p². This distribution is memoryless: P(X > s + t | X > s) = P(X > t).

几何分布 X ~ Geo(p) 用来描述直到第一次成功所需的试验次数。其概率质量函数为 P(X = r) = (1 – p)ʳ⁻¹ p, r = 1, 2, 3, … 。均值为 1/p，方差为 (1 – p) / p²。该分布具有无记忆性: P(X > s + t | X > s) = P(X > t)。

The negative binomial distribution X ~ NB(r, p) gives the number of trials needed to achieve r successes. Its probability mass function is P(X = k) = C(k – 1, r – 1) pʳ (1 – p)ᵏ⁻ʳ for k = r, r+1, … . The mean is r/p and the variance is r(1 – p) / p². Alternatively, some exam boards define the negative binomial as the number of failures before the r-th success; always check the specification.

负二项分布 X ~ NB(r, p) 给出达到 r 次成功所需的试验次数。概率质量函数为 P(X = k) = C(k – 1, r – 1) pʳ (1 – p)ᵏ⁻ʳ, k = r, r+1, … 。均值 r/p，方差 r(1 – p) / p²。有些考试局将负二项定义为第 r 次成功之前的失败次数，请务必核对大纲。

4. Continuous Random Variables | 连续随机变量

A continuous random variable X is described by its probability density function (PDF) f(x), satisfying f(x) ≥ 0 and ∫_{-∞}^{∞} f(x) dx = 1. Probabilities are found by integration: P(a < X < b) = ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx. The cumulative distribution function is F(x) = P(X ≤ x) = ∫_{-∞}ˣ f(t) dt.

连续随机变量 X 由其概率密度函数 (PDF) f(x) 描述，满足 f(x) ≥ 0 且 ∫_{-∞}^{∞} f(x) dx = 1。概率通过积分求得：P(a < X < b) = ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx。累积分布函数为 F(x) = P(X ≤ x) = ∫_{-∞}ˣ f(t) dt。

The mean (expected value) is μ = E(X) = ∫ x f(x) dx over the whole domain, and the variance is σ² = Var(X) = ∫ (x – μ)² f(x) dx = ∫ x² f(x) dx – μ². The median m satisfies F(m) = 0.5, while the mode is the value of x that maximises f(x).

均值（期望）为 μ = E(X) = ∫ x f(x) dx 在全域积分，方差 σ² = Var(X) = ∫ (x – μ)² f(x) dx = ∫ x² f(x) dx – μ²。中位数 m 满足 F(m) = 0.5，众数为使 f(x) 最大的 x 值。

5. Normal Distribution and Approximations | 正态分布与近似

The normal distribution X ~ N(μ, σ²) is the most important continuous distribution. Standardising using Z = (X – μ) / σ gives Z ~ N(0, 1). Probabilities can be found from standard normal tables. For a binomial distribution B(n, p), when n is large and both np > 5 and n(1 – p) > 5, we can use the normal approximation Y ~ N(np, np(1 – p)). A continuity correction is required, e.g. P(X ≤ k) ≈ P(Y < k + 0.5).

正态分布 X ~ N(μ, σ²) 是最重要的连续分布。通过标准化 Z = (X – μ) / σ 得到 Z ~ N(0, 1)，概率可由标准正态表查得。对于二项分布 B(n, p)，当 n 较大且 np > 5 和 n(1 – p) > 5 时，可用正态近似 Y ~ N(np, np(1 – p))，并需进行连续性校正，如 P(X ≤ k) ≈ P(Y < k + 0.5)。

The Poisson distribution Po(λ) can be approximated by a normal distribution N(λ, λ) when λ
