Random Variables Introduction to Probability & Statistics Random Variables

Random Variables A Random Variable is a function that associates a real number with each element in a sample space. Ex: Toss of a die X = # dots on top face of die = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Random Variables A Random Variable is a function that associates a real number with each element in a sample space. Ex: Flip of a coin 0, heads X = 1, tails 

Random Variables A Random Variable is a function that associates a real number with each element in a sample space. Ex: Flip 3 coins 0 if TTT X = 1 if HTT, THT, TTH 2 if HHT, HTH, THH 3 if HHH 
