A die is a cube with six sides. Each side


contains from one to six dots called pips.
If we roll a die and record the number of
dots that occur face up, there will be six
possible outcomes.

If we toss a fair coin into the air, there

the coin will land heads and a 50%
chance that the coin will land tails.

A random variable is a variable whose
value is determined by the outcome of
a random procedure. Understanding
the concepts of sample space and
random variables is important in the
study of probability.

random variables that can take on a


finite or countable infinite number of
distinct values. Each value can be
described by an integer value. Can

variables that take an uncountably infinite
number of possible values, typically
measurable quantities. The values are
obtained by measurement and may assume
all values in the interval between any two

0.03, 1.2374553, etc.
