Then, breastfeed your baby at least eight to 12 times every 24 hours so that you will make plenty of milk. This means that in the first few days after birth, your baby will likely need to breastfeed about every one to two hours during the day and a few times at night.
What is a Probability Distribution. The mathematical definition of a discrete probability function, p(x), is a function that satisfies the following properties. 1  The probability that x can take a specific value is p(x). 2  p(x) is non-negative for all real x.  where j represents all possible values that x can have and pj is the probability at xj.
Stats: Conditional Probability. Recall that the probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred is called a conditional probability. The probability that event B occurs, given that event A has already occurred is. P(B|A) = P(A and B) / P(A) This formula comes from the general multiplication principle and a little bit of algebra. Since we are given that event A has occurred, we have a reduced sample space.
