Two types of variables:
Categorical or Qualitative Variables -These
variables are classified into attributes or categories,
such as gender, religion, political affiliations, academic
courses, blood type, civil status, and classroom
Numerical
advisory. or Quantitative Variables -These
variables are classified according to numerical
characteristics, such as temperature, height, weight,
average grade, quarterly examination scores, daily
allowance, and average internet consumption.

*Probability Distribution– of a discrete random

variable X is a list of each possible value of X and the
corresponding probabilities of the values.

Properties of a Probability Distribution
1.The probability of each value of the random
variable must be between or equal to 0 and
1. 0 ≤ P(X) ≤ 1
2.The sum of all probabilities should be 1. In
symbol P(X)=1 or ΣP(x) = 1.
