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.

The following things about the above distribution function, which are true in general, should be noted. 1. The magnitudes of the jumps at 0, 1, 2 are which are precisely the probabilities in Table 2-2.
