1
Q
Random variables
A
A variable related to the outcome of an experiment often denoted X
2
Q
Discrete random variables
A
A random variable that can take on countable many outcomes
3
Q
Probability distributions
A
A list of all possible values the random variable could take on, along with the probability of each value
4
Q
Variable
A
Quantitative “how many or “hoe=w much” and qualitative “what kind”
5
Q
Random experiment
A
A set of experimental trial in which the outcome of each trial is not known ahead of time
6
Q
Probability distribution
A
The set of values that a random variable X can take, along with the associated probabilities of X taking those values
