    Example 3: Random Variables

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses a random variable that associates numbers with outcomes of a single fair die toss. The random variable X assigns the number showing on the die to each outcome in the sample space of {1,2,3,4,5,6}. The random variable induces a probability measure P on the range of X that satisfies the three axioms of probability and assigns a probability of 1/6 to each number 1 through 6.

    Example 3 Consider the sample space associated with the single toss of a fair die. The sample space is given
    by .

    If we define the random variable that associates a real number equal to the number on the face of the die,
    then .
    .

    Probability Space Induced by a Random Variable

    The random variable induces a probability measure on defined by

    The probability measure satisfies the three axioms of probability:
