Distributions (Probability Distributions)

A probability distribution describes how likely different outcomes are in a random event or process. It maps each possible result to a likelihood, showing which outcomes are more common or rare. For example, rolling a die has a distribution where each number from 1 to 6 has an equal chance of appearing. Distributions help us understand and predict variability in real-world situations, like weather patterns or stock prices, by providing a mathematical framework for the probabilities of different outcomes.
