Concept understanding — Random Variable and Probability Distribution

A random variable is a real-valued function defined on the sample space of a random experiment, assigning a single number to every outcome. A discrete random variable takes finitely many distinct values x1,…,xnx_1,\dots,x_n, and its probability distribution is the table pairing each value with its probability pi=P(X=xi)p_i=P(X=x_i). A valid probability distribution must satisfy two conditions: every pi≥0p_i\ge0, and the probabilities sum to exactly 11 (∑pi=1\sum p_i=1). Constr …
