RANDOM VARIABLES AND PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS1. DISCRETE RANDOM of a Discrete RANDOM RANDOM variable X is said to bediscreteif it canassume only a finite or countable infinite number of distinct values. A discrete RANDOM variablecan be defined on both a countable or uncountable sample for a discrete RANDOM PROBABILITY that X takes on the value x, P(X=x),is defined as the sum of the probabilities of all sample points in that are assigned the value x. Wemay denote P(X=x) by p(x). The expression p(x) is a function that assigns probabilities to eachpossible value x; thus it is often called the PROBABILITY function for distribution for a discrete RANDOM PROBABILITY distribution for adiscrete RANDOM variable X can be represented by a formula, a table, or a graph, which providesp(x)
