    A random variable assigns a real number to outcomes in a sample space, which contains all possible outcomes of a statistical activity. There are two types of random variables: discrete random variables where the underlying characteristic is discrete or countable, and continuous random variables where the characteristic is continuous, such as mass or volume. A probability distribution assigns probabilities to the sample space such that all probabilities are greater than or equal to 0, the total probability equals 1, and the probability of unions of disjoint events is the sum of their individual probabilities. Probability distributions can be discrete, assigning probabilities to each possible outcome, or continuous, assigning probabilities to ranges of values.

    Random Variable - A random variable assign a real number to. in a sample space. every outcome

    Sample space - is a collection of all activity the possible outcomes of a statistical activity

    Discrete Random Variable - the underlying characteristics being measured is discrete finite or countably
    infinite.

    Continuous Random Variable - A RV for which the underlying characteristics being measured is
    continuous.

    * mass, distance, area, volume, pressure, voltage

    Probability Distribution -A probability distribution assigns probability to the sample space of statistical
    process such that:

    1) All probabilities are greater than equal to 20


    2) The total probability of sample space is 1
    3) The probability of the union of disjoint events is the sum up their individual probabilities

    Discrete Probability Distribution - assigns a probability to every possible outcome in s.


    Continuous Probability Distribution - assign a probability to every range of values of X.

    *A discrete problem, assign a probability to every possible outcome in S.
