A Random Variable is a set of possible values from a random experiment.
Random collection of blocks. Some of which aren't blocks at all. FilePane is a lightweight, versatile multi-tool for quick file management. It works with almost any selectable and draggable content from any app on your system. You can easily copy/move/create files and folders, edit/share/convert images and a lot more Just start dragging a file or text and drop it into 'Drop Here' panel, showing near your cursor. 02.25 애니 Ohys 문호 스트레이독스 2기 06화10화 (BD) (1280x720) 02.25 애니 Ohys 문호 스트레이독스 2기 01화05화 (BD) (1280x720) 02.25 애니 Ohys 문호 스트레이독스 1기 2쿨 11화12화 End (BD) (1280x720). 02.25 애니 Ohys 문호 스트레이독스 2기 06화10화 (BD) (1280x720) 02.25 애니 Ohys 문호 스트레이독스 2기 01화05화 (BD) (1280x720) 02.25 애니 Ohys 문호 스트레이독스 1기 2쿨 11화12화 End (BD) (1280x720). 10 2 means 10 × 10 = 100 (It says 10 is used 2 times in the multiplication) Example: 10 3 = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1,000 In words: 10 3 could be called '10 to the third power', '10 to the power 3' or simply '10 cubed' Example: 10 4 = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 10,000.
Example: Tossing a coin: we could get Heads or Tails.
Let's give them the values Heads=0 and Tails=1 and we have a Random Variable 'X':
In short:
X = {0, 1}
Note: We could choose Heads=100 and Tails=150 or other values if we want! It is our choice.
So:
- We have an experiment (such as tossing a coin)
- We give values to each event
- The set of values is a Random Variable
Not Like an Algebra Variable
In Algebra a variable, like x, is an unknown value:
Example: x + 2 = 6
In this case we can find that x=4
But a Random Variable is different ...
A Random Variable has a whole set of values ...
... and it could take on any of those values, randomly.
Example: X = {0, 1, 2, 3}
X could be 0, 1, 2, or 3 randomly.
And they might each have a different probability.
Capital Letters
We use a capital letter, like X or Y, to avoid confusion with the Algebra type of variable.
Sample Space
A Random Variable's set of values is the Sample Space.
Example: Throw a die once
Random Variable X = 'The score shown on the top face'.
X could be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6
So the Sample Space is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Probability
We can show the probability of any one value using this style:
P(X = value) = probability of that value
Example (continued): Throw a die once
X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
In this case they are all equally likely, so the probability of any one is 1/6
- P(X = 1) = 1/6
- P(X = 2) = 1/6
- P(X = 3) = 1/6
- P(X = 4) = 1/6
- P(X = 5) = 1/6
- P(X = 6) = 1/6
Note that the sum of the probabilities = 1, as it should be.
Example: How many heads when we toss 3 coins?
X = 'The number of Heads' is the Random Variable.
In this case, there could be 0 Heads (if all the coins land Tails up), 1 Head, 2 Heads or 3 Heads.

So the Sample Space = {0, 1, 2, 3}
But this time the outcomes are NOT all equally likely.
The three coins can land in eight possible ways:
X = 'Number of Heads' | |
HHH | 3 |
HHT | 2 |
HTH | 2 |
HTT | 1 |
THH | 2 |
THT | 1 |
TTH | 1 |
TTT | 0 |
Looking at the table we see just 1 case of Three Heads, but 3 cases of Two Heads, 3 cases of One Head, and 1 case of Zero Heads. So:
- P(X = 3) = 1/8
- P(X = 2) = 3/8
- P(X = 1) = 3/8
- P(X = 0) = 1/8
Example: Two dice are tossed.
The Random Variable is X = 'The sum of the scores on the two dice'.
Let's make a table of all possible values:
1st Die | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | ||
2nd Die | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | |
3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | |
4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | |
5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | |
6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
There are 6 × 6 = 36 possible outcomes, and the Sample Space (which is the sum of the scores on the two dice) is {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}
Let's count how often each value occurs, and work out the probabilities:
- 2 occurs just once, so P(X = 2) = 1/36
- 3 occurs twice, so P(X = 3) = 2/36 = 1/18
- 4 occurs three times, so P(X = 4) = 3/36 = 1/12
- 5 occurs four times, so P(X = 5) = 4/36 = 1/9
- 6 occurs five times, so P(X = 6) = 5/36
- 7 occurs six times, so P(X = 7) = 6/36 = 1/6
- 8 occurs five times, so P(X = 8) = 5/36
- 9 occurs four times, so P(X = 9) = 4/36 = 1/9
- 10 occurs three times, so P(X = 10) = 3/36 = 1/12
- 11 occurs twice, so P(X = 11) = 2/36 = 1/18
- 12 occurs just once, so P(X = 12) = 1/36
A Range of Values
We could also calculate the probability that a Random Variable takes on a range of values.
Example (continued) What is the probability that the sum of the scores is 5, 6, 7 or 8?
In other words: What is P(5 ≤ X ≤ 8)?
= (4+5+6+5)/36
= 5/9
Solving
We can also solve a Random Variable equation.
Example (continued) If P(X=x) = 1/12, what is the value of x?
Looking through the list above we find:
- P(X=4) = 1/12, and
- P(X=10) = 1/12
So there are two solutions: x = 4 or x = 10
Notice the different uses of X and x:
- X is the Random Variable 'The sum of the scores on the two dice'.
- x is a value that X can take.
Continuous
Random Variables can be either Discrete or Continuous:
- Discrete Data can only take certain values (such as 1,2,3,4,5)
- Continuous Data can take any value within a range (such as a person's height)
