Random Variable and The Probability Distribution
Random Variable
- Variable whose value is determined
by a random experiment.

The Probability Distribution

- Table of Formula that lists the probabilities for each outcome of the
Random Variable, X.

Expected Values of Random Variables
The expected value of a random variable is denoted by E[X].
The expected value can be thought of as the “average” value
attained by the random variable; in fact, the expected value
of a random variable is also called its mean, in which case we
use the notation µX.
The Binomial Distribution
Binomial distribution is a common probability
distribution that models the probability of obtaining one
of two outcomes under a given number of parameters. It
summarizes the number of trials when each trial has the
same chance of attaining one specific outcome
 The Poisson Distribution
A Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution. It gives
the probability of an event happening a certain number of times (k)
within a given interval of time or space. The Poisson distribution has
only one parameter, λ (lambda), which is the mean number of events.

You can use a Poisson distribution to predict or explain the number

of events occurring within a given interval of time or space.
