Definition of sufficiency

Let x1,x2,…,xnx_1,x_2,\dots,x_n be a random sample from a distribution with p.d.f. or p.m.f. f(x,θ)f(x,\theta), θ∈Θ\theta\in\Theta. A statistic T=(x1,x2,…,xn)T=(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n) is said to be sufficient for θ\theta, iff the conditional distribution of XX, given T=tT=t, is:
