RANDOM VARIABLE
We use uppercase letters to denote
random variables.
Examples
1 if it rains Y = integers between 0 to 5
X= { 0 if no rain Y = { 1, 2, 3, 4 }
Z = weight (in kg) of a newborn baby
Z = {2.5 ≤ z ≤ 4.5}

SUMMARY
RANDOM VARIABLE – is a variable taking on
numerical values determined by the outcome of an
experiment.
DISCRETE RANDOM VARIABLE – obtained by
counting values for which there are no in-between
values; countable data
CONTINUOUS RANDOM VARIABLE – obtained from
data that can take infinitely many values;
measurable data
