Discrete Probability
Discrete Probability Distributions
• Distribution, mean and standard deviation of discrete random
variables are described, first in general, then for the binomial
and Poisson special cases.
Discrete Random Variables
• A random variable, denoted by a capital letter such as X, is a
“rule” which assigns a number to each outcome in sample space
of a probability experiment. A random variable is discrete if
outcomes assigned to finite or countable infinite real values.
