Computing Probability of Corresponding Random Variable

1. The document discusses computing probabilities of random variables from discrete probability distributions. It provides two examples, including computing the probability that a random variable equals a certain value. 2. The first example computes the probability that a random variable equals 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 from a given probability distribution. The second example finds the probability that a random variable is less than or equal to 1. 3. The document concludes with an exercise asking learners to compute a probability from data on the number of cars sold per day at a dealership.
