There are two types of probability distribution which are used for different purposes and various types of the data generation process.

a. Normal or Cumulative Probability Distribution

b. Binomial or Discrete Probability Distribution

The cumulative probability distribution is also known as a continuous probability distribution. In this distribution, the set of possible outcomes can take on values in a continuous range.

A distribution is called a discrete probability distribution, where the set of outcomes are discrete in nature.

For example, if a dice is rolled, then all the possible outcomes are discrete and give a mass of outcomes. It is also known as the probability mass function.

So, the outcomes of binomial distribution consist of n repeated trials and the outcome may or may not occur. The formula for the binomial distribution is;

The probability distribution of a statistic, from a particular population, over many random samples is the sampling distribution.
