  1. Lecture 2 Discrete Random Variables Section 2.1-2.4

  2. Definition • Each observation of an experiment is a random variable. (e.g. X) • The set of possible values of a random variable is called the range of a random variable. (e.g. SX)

  3. A random variable can be a function of the observation.

  4. A random variable can be a function of another random variable

  5. English translation: {X=x} emphasizes the idea that there is a set of sample points s within S (the sample space) for which X(s)=x.
