Discrete Random Variables (VCE SSCE Mathematical Methods): Flashcards

Function linking each outcome to a specific number

Capital letters like $X$, $Y$, or $Z$

Takes only separate, countable values

Counting processes

Can take any value within an interval

Measuring processes

List of all possible values of $X$ with their probabilities

$0 \leq p(x) \leq 1$ for all values of $x$

Sum of all probabilities $p(x)$ equals $1$

$1 - \Pr(X = a)$
