experiment
e.g. throwing 2 times a dice
realization: outcome of one specific experiment
event space/sample space:
all possible outcomes
random variable Zufallsvariable
function of outcome of experiment (e.g. sum of
dices)
event space and realization defined accordingly
for random variables
random variable can be either discrete or
continues
3 Pythagorean means:
harmonic mean <= geometric mean <= arithmetic mean
weighted mean of data set:
5 measurements { } with
different uncertainties { }
Median:
smallest value which is than 50% of the events
(median more robust against outliers than artithm .mean)
mode
dE/dx

Energy loss in Material
The mode of the dE/dx distribution as a
function of particle momentum is used to
seperate different particle species
