2.4.3 Interpret Results

        The analysis shows that Bollywood, Pop and Rock are very similar in terms of the number of students who choose
        them as their favourite type of music. Most of the students picked up Bollywood, Pop, and Rock as their favourite
        and/or second favourite type of music. In addition, students might note that a live band and a DJ are equally
        chosen among class members.


                Recap


           • A distribution is a simple way to visualise a set of data.
           • Probability refers to the possibility of something happening. It is a mathematical concept that predicts how likely events
           are to occur.
           • When the sum of probabilities equals 1% to 100%, you can be certain that you have used all possible values, it is called
           uniform distribution.
           • Discrete data refers to the data that accepts only particular values.
           • Continuous data refers to the data that can accept any value within a range.
           • The density functions are mathematical functions that describe the probability distribution of a random variable X.
           • Probability Mass Functions (PMF) describe the probability of a random variable X taking on a particular value x, and it is
           only applicable for discrete distributions.
           • Bernoulli distribution is one of the simplest discrete probability distributions. It describes events that have exactly two
           outcomes.
           • A Binomial distribution is a common probability distribution that models the probability of obtaining one of two outcomes
           under a given number of parameters.
           • Poisson distribution is a probability distribution that is used to display the frequency of an event over a given period.
           • Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) refers to a probability distribution that deals with both continuous and discrete data.
           • An  infinite  number  of  equally  likely  measurable  values  make  up  a  continuous  uniform  distribution,  often  known  as  a
           rectangle distribution.
           • A normal distribution is most common distribution function for independent, randomly generated variables. It is sometimes
           called the bell curve or Gaussian distribution.
           • The term "variability" describes how dispersed a set of data is. In statistics, "variability" refers to the variation that data
           points within a data collection exhibit when compared to one another or the mean.
