    The probabilities of rolling several numbers using two dice. Probability is the branch of mathematics and statistics concerning events and numerical descriptions of how likely they are to occur.

  3. Law of total probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_total_probability

    In probability theory, the law (or formula) of total probability is a fundamental rule relating marginal probabilities to conditional probabilities. It expresses the total probability of an outcome which can be realized via several distinct events , hence the name.

    is known as Campbell's formula [2] or Campbell's theorem, [1] [12] [13] which gives a method for calculating expectations of sums of measurable functions with ranges on the real line. More specifically, for a point process N {\displaystyle N} and a measurable function f : R d → R {\displaystyle f:{\textbf {R}}^{d}\rightarrow {\textbf {R ...

  8. Normal distribution - Wikipedia
