A discrete random variable is a type of random variable that can take on a countable set of distinct values. Common examples include the number of children in a family, the outcome of rolling a die, ...

Abstract: In this chapter, we introduce the concept of a random variable and develop the procedures for characterizing random variables, including the cumulative distribution function, as well as the ...

Example 1: A coin is flipped. Random variable X takes the value 1 if the coin lands heads, and X takes the value 0 if the coin shows tails. Example 2: Three balls are drawn without replacement from a ...

The main property of a discrete joint probability distribution can be stated as the sum of all non-zero probabilities is 1. The next line shows this as a formula. The marginal distribution of X can be ...
