Lesson 1: Random Variables Flashcards
It is also known as stochastic variable.
random variable
It is the quantified random process wherein the real number is assigned or mapped to the outcomes in the random experiment.
random variable
It also refers to the function generated from the sample space to the set of real numbers.
random variable
It is denoted by any capital letter (e.g., X). X can be an function that maps the sample space to real numbers.
random variable
It is a related terminology in random variable that refers to determine the outcome of the variables being explored.
experiment
It is a related terminology in random variable that refers to the activities that can be done repeatedly with well-defined outcomes or possible outcomes that can be specified.
statistical experiment
It is a related terminology in random variable that are performed to determine the cause-and-effect relationships or to determine the outcome of the variables being explored.
experiment
It is a related terminology in random variable where you can have more than one outcome.
statistical experiment
It is a related terminology in random variable that refers to the set of all possible outcomes in a statistical experiment
sample space
It is a related terminology in random variable that refers to each of the outcomes.
sample point
It is a related terminology in random variable that refers to the well-defined subset of the sample space.
event
The 2 classifications of random variables.
- discrete random variable
- continuous random variable
It is a classification of random variable that refers to fine (countable) number of distinct values.
discrete random variable
It is a classification of random variable that refers to values that are exact and represented by non-negative whole numbers.
discrete random variable
It is a classification of random variable that refers to infinite number of values in an interval between two specific values.
continuous random variable
It is a classification of random variable that are measurable.
continuous random variable
It is a classification of random variable that can be
represented in fractions and decimals.
continuous random variable
This may vary in either quantity or quality.
ordinary variable
The value is based on chances (outcomes from sample space).
