For statements like the one below, I need a large left bracket to precede the array. \Biggr\{ is not big enough. Ideally I could use \left\{ and make the right bracket white, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do that.

\( P(Y = y) = \Biggr\{ 
\begin{array}{l l} 
0.064& \mbox{ for }y = -3 \\ 
0.360 & \mbox{ for }y = 0 \\ 
0.360 & \mbox{ for } y=3 \\ 
0.216 & \mbox{ for } y=6 \\ 
0 & \mbox{ otherwise.} 
\end{array} \)

    \begin{cases} is what you need. – Sigur Aug 31 '19 at 15:36
  • Please extend your code snippet to complete small document, which we can compile as it is. On the first sight it seem that you actually look for cases environment provided by amsmath – Zarko Aug 31 '19 at 15:36
  • Did you try the cases environment? – Bernard Aug 31 '19 at 15:36
  • In general you can use left\{ and \right., but (as others have suggested) it's best to use cases and related environments (dcases etc.) for piecewise definitions. – Ian Thompson Aug 31 '19 at 15:39
