    Random Variables and Probability Distributions

    • A random variable represents a numerical outcome or value that results from a random experiment or process.
    • A random variable can be either discrete (taking on specific distinct values) or continuous (taking on any value within a certain range or interval).

    Probability Distribution

    • A probability distribution describes the probability of each possible value or outcome of a random variable.
    • It provides a summary of the probability of each possible outcome, and can be used to calculate the likelihood of different events or outcomes.

    Mean of a Probability Distribution

    • The mean of a probability distribution is a measure of the central tendency or expected value of the random variable.
    • It represents the long-run average value of the random variable, and is often denoted by the symbol μ (mu).
