Discrete Random Variables | Year 1 Stats | A Level Maths
A discrete random variable assigns probabilities to a finite or countable set of outcomes, and understanding them is essential for the binomial distribution. In this lesson you will learn how to use the probability function p(x) = P(X = x), tabulate a probability distribution, and ensure the probabilities sum to 1. You will also identify the discrete uniform distribution and meet the conventions used throughout the course for handling random variables.
