2.1. DIscreteProbabIlItyDIstrIbutIons • Theconcept of randomvariable: • S: Spaceorsupport of an experiment • A randomvariable (r.v.)X is a realvaluedfunctiondefined on thespace. • X: S → R • x: Representsthevalue of X • xεS • X is a discrete r.v. ifitspossiblevaluesarefinite, orcountablyinfinite. Discrete Distributions
A chip is selectedrandomlyfromthebowl: • S = {1, 2, 3, 4} • X: Thenumber on theselectedchip • X is a r.v. withspaceS • x = 1, 2, 3, 4. X is a discrete r.v. (it takes 4 differentvalues) Discrete Distributions
