Question

Define distribution

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

Distribution, by definition, is:

"the act of sharing something out among a number of recipients" (Merriam Webster)

But, in math, distribution is separating a number/variable/whatever you need to distribute among other numbers/values.

For example, if we have the equation:

5(2a+2b+3c)

we would have to distribute the 5 to all the values in the parenthesis.

(5·2a)+(5·2b)+(5·3c)

=10a+10b+15c

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

''mathematical expression that describes the probability that a system will take on a specific value or set of values.''
