What to Focus On

  • A random variable assigns numerical values to outcomes of a random experiment.
  • Discrete random variables have countable outcomes.
  • Continuous random variables have uncountable outcomes in an interval.

  • Probability distribution shows all possible values and their probabilities.
  • Each probability must be ≥ 0.
  • Sum of all probabilities must be exactly 1.

  • Mean is the weighted average of values.
  • Variance uses squared deviations to avoid cancellation.
  • Standard deviation is in the same units as the variable.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All random variables are continuous because they involve numbers.

The mean of a probability distribution is just the average of the X values, ignoring probabilities.

Variance is calculated as Σ(x_i - μ)^2 only, without multiplying by P(x_i).
