Definition:A random variable X is a number whose value is determined by the outcome of a random experiment (random phenomena)
![Page 10: Probability Theory Modelling random phenomena. Permutations the number of ways that you can order n objects is: n! = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)…(3)(2)(1) Definition:](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050812/5a4d1aec7f8b9ab05997b691/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Examples1. A die is rolled and X = number of spots
showing on the upper face.2. Two dice are rolled and X = Total number
of spots showing on the two upper faces.3. A coin is tossed n = 100 times and
X = number of times the coin toss resulted in a head.
4. A person is selected at random from a population and
X = weight of that individual.
![Page 11: Probability Theory Modelling random phenomena. Permutations the number of ways that you can order n objects is: n! = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)…(3)(2)(1) Definition:](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050812/5a4d1aec7f8b9ab05997b691/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
5. A sample of n = 100 individuals are selected at random from a population (i.e. all samples of n = 100 have the same probability of being selected) .
X = the average weight of the 100 individuals.
![Page 12: Probability Theory Modelling random phenomena. Permutations the number of ways that you can order n objects is: n! = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)…(3)(2)(1) Definition:](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050812/5a4d1aec7f8b9ab05997b691/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In all of these examples X fits the definition of a random variable, namely:– a number whose value is determined by the
outcome of a random experiment (random phenomena)
![Page 13: Probability Theory Modelling random phenomena. Permutations the number of ways that you can order n objects is: n! = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)…(3)(2)(1) Definition:](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050812/5a4d1aec7f8b9ab05997b691/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Random variables are either• Discrete
– Integer valued – The set of possible values for X are integers
• Continuous– The set of possible values for X are all real
numbers – Range over a continuum.

Discrete Random VariablesDiscrete Random Variable: A random variable usually assuming an integer value.
• a discrete random variable assumes values that are isolated points along the real line. That is neighbouring values are not “possible values” for a discrete random variable
Note: Usually associated with counting• The number of times a head occurs in 10 tosses of a coin• The number of auto accidents occurring on a weekend• The size of a family

The probability distribution of a discrete random variable is describe by its :
probability function p(x).p(x) = the probability that X takes on the value x.
![Page 20: Probability Theory Modelling random phenomena. Permutations the number of ways that you can order n objects is: n! = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)…(3)(2)(1) Definition:](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050812/5a4d1aec7f8b9ab05997b691/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Probability Distribution & Function Probability Distribution: A mathematical description of how probabilities are distributed with each of the possible values of a random variable.
Notes: The probability distribution allows one to determine probabilities
of events related to the values of a random variable. The probability distribution may be presented in the form of a
table, chart, formula.
Probability Function: A rule that assigns probabilities to the values of the random variable
![Page 21: Probability Theory Modelling random phenomena. Permutations the number of ways that you can order n objects is: n! = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)…(3)(2)(1) Definition:](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050812/5a4d1aec7f8b9ab05997b691/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Comments:Every probability function must satisfy:

The normal distribution (with mean and standard deviation ) is a continuous distribution with a probability density curve that is:
1. Bell shaped2. Centered at the value of the mean 3. The spread is determined by the value of the
standard deviation . The points of inflection on the bell curve occur at - and + .

Variance and Standard DeviationVariance of a Discrete Random Variable: Variance, 2, of a discrete random variable x is found by multiplying each possible value of the squared deviation from the mean, (x )2, by its own probability and then adding all the products together:

The Binomial distribution1. We have an experiment with two outcomes
– Success(S) and Failure(F).
2. Let p denote the probability of S (Success).
3. In this case q=1-p denotes the probability of Failure(F).
4. This experiment is repeated n times independently.
5. X denote the number of successes occuring in the n repititions.

Example:• A surgeon performs a difficult
operation n = 10 times. • X is the number of times that the operation is
a success.
• The success rate for the operation is 80%. In this case p = 0.80 and
• X has a Binomial distribution with n = 10 and p = 0.80.
