Probability Formula Sheet

Math for CS · Axiom Academy

All probability formulas and distributions in one place E[aX + b] = aE[X] + b (linearity, always holds) E[X + Y] = E[X] + E[Y] (linearity, always holds) (for sums of independent bounded RVs) Normal Distribution Quick Reference If are iid with mean and variance : Binomial Normal: Binomial when and Binomial Poisson: Binomial Poisson (np) when n is large, p is small Axiom Academy | Probability for Computer Science
