1 f(x i) 0 2 P n i=1 f(x i) = 1 3 f(x i) = P(X = x i) Example (Probability Mass Function (PMF)) For the transmitted bit example, fP(0) = 0:6561;f(1) = 0:2916;:::;f(4) = 0:0001 n i=1 f(x i) = 0:6561+0:2916+ +0:0001 = 1 The probability distribution for a discrete random variable is described with a probability mass function (probability ... ................
