3.1 Concept of a Random Variable
CHAPTER3 Random VARIABLES AND PROBABILITY Concept of a Random VariableRandom VariableArandom variableis a function that associates a realnumber with each element in the sample other words, a Random Variable is a functionX:S!R,whereSis the sample space of the randomexperiment under convention, we use a capital letter, sayX,to denote a Random Variable , and use the correspondinglower-case letterxto denote the realization (values) ofthe Random (Coin).Consider the Random experi-ment of tossing a coin three times and observing the re-sult (a Head or a Tail) for each toss.
XAMPLE 3.1 (Coin). Consider the random experi-ment of tossing a coin three times and observing the re-sult (a Head or a Tail) for each toss. Let X denote the total number of heads obtained in the three tosses of the coin. (a) Construct a table that shows the values of the ran-dom variable X for each possible outcome of the random experiment.
