• Random Variables. Random Variables! "-1 0 1 A rv is any rule (i.e., function) that associates a number with each outcome in the sample space. Two Types of Random Variables •A discrete random variable has a countable number of possible values •A continuous random variable takes all values in an interval of numbers.

Reading 5b: Continuous Random Variables

Whereas discrete random variables take on a discrete set of possible values, continuous random variables have a continuous set of values. Computationally, to go from discrete to continuous we simply replace sums by integrals. It will help you to keep in mind that (informally) an integral is just a continuous sum.

RANDOM VARIABLES AND PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS 1. DISCRETE RANDOM VARIABLES 1.1. Definition of a Discrete Random Variable. A random variable X is said to be discrete if it can assume only a finite or countable infinite number of distinct values. A discrete random variable can be defined on both a countable or uncountable sample space. 1.2.

4.2 Variance and Covariance of Random Variables The variance of a random variable X, or the variance of the probability distribution of X, is de ned as the expected squared deviation from the expected value. Variance & Standard Deviation Let X be a random variable with probability distribution f(x) and mean m. The variance of X is s2 =Var(X) =E ...
