Welcome to the Statistics and Probability. This lesson will give you the practical
application of the expected values and variances of discrete probability distribution.
In this lesson cover about the random variable. At the end of this lesson, you will learn
how to explain the concepts of expected value and variance of a discrete random variable
Random variable: a quantity having a numerical value for each member of a group,
especially one whose values occur according to a frequency distribution.
Sample space: is a collection or a set of possible outcomes of a random experiment.
Discrete random variable: has a countable number of possible values.
Value of G 0 1 2 3 4
P(G=g) 0.0625 0.2500 0.3750 0.2500 0.0625
