Day 34: Example of the Laplace pdf

laplace pdf and CDF

The Laplace pdf (left) and the associated Laplace CDF (right). Remember the CDF is just the area under the curve of the pdf.

Last post, we finally got to use the exponential pdf and discovered the math wasn’t completely useless (okay, hopefully by now you know that). However, in the spirit of finding a use for the equations we are covering, let’s look at how we use the laplace pdf. It’s going to be a blast, so let’s get started!
