  2. Probability-generating function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Probability-generating_function

    In probability theory, the probability generating function of a discrete random variable is a power series representation (the generating function) of the probability mass function of the random variable. Probability generating functions are often employed for their succinct description of the sequence of probabilities Pr (X = i) in the ...

  3. Spinner (wheel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinner_(wheel)

    The spinner or "knock-off" originated with Rudge-Whitworth center lock wire wheels and hubs, which were first patented in 1908. [1][2] The spinner was a threaded, winged nut designed to keep the wheel fastened to the hub. They were screwed on and "knocked on tightly" using a hammer, hence the name "knock-offs".

  5. Random variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_variable

    A random variable (also called random quantity, aleatory variable, or stochastic variable) is a mathematical formalization of a quantity or object which depends on random events. [1] The term 'random variable' in its mathematical definition refers to neither randomness nor variability [2] but instead is a mathematical function in which.

  6. Characteristic function (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_function...

    The characteristic function is a way to describe a random variable. The characteristic function, a function of t, determines the behavior and properties of the probability distribution of the random variable X. It is equivalent to a probability density function or cumulative distribution function in the sense that knowing one of the functions ...

  7. Generating function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generating_function

    In mathematics, a generating function is a representation of an infinite sequence of numbers as the coefficients of a formal power series. Generating functions are often expressed in closed form (rather than as a series), by some expression involving operations on the formal series. There are various types of generating functions, including ...

  9. Van de Graaff generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_de_Graaff_generator

    Van de Graaff generator. A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator which uses a moving belt to accumulate electric charge on a hollow metal globe on the top of an insulated column, creating very high electric potentials. It produces very high voltage direct current (DC) electricity at low current levels.
