Probability distribution, an Uncommon card
In probability theory and statistics, a probability distribution describes how probabilities are assigned to the possible results of a random phenomenon, more precisely, to events, which are sets of possible outcomes of a probabilistic experiment.

Power 151 (ATK + DEF): stronger than 80 % of WikiCards cards.
Probability distribution quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Probability distribution card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
Probability ______ are closely linked to random variables.
Answer
distributions. Probability distributions are closely linked to random variables. From the Probability distribution article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Parabola. Parabola 83 · Casimir effect 80 · Probability distribution 77 · Fionn mac Cumhaill 73 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Informally, a probability distribution tells us how likely different results are.
- Formally, it is a probability measure: a function that assigns probabilities to events in a way that satisfies the axioms of probability.
- Probability distributions are closely linked to random variables.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Probability distribution article was read about 170,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 74: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
How to get Probability distribution
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
