This lesson defines the term random variables in the context of probability. You'll learn about certain properties of random variables and the different types of random variables.
Finding & Interpreting the Expected Value of a Discrete Random Variable

2. Finding & Interpreting the Expected Value of a Discrete Random Variable

Discrete random variables appear in your life a lot more than you think. You can use expected values to find the probability of a discrete random variable, as shown in this lesson.
Developing Discrete Probability Distributions Theoretically & Finding Expected Values

3. Developing Discrete Probability Distributions Theoretically & Finding Expected Values

In this lesson, we will look at generating a theoretical probability distribution for a discrete random variable and introduce the concept of expected value.
Developing Discrete Probability Distributions Empirically & Finding Expected Values

4. Developing Discrete Probability Distributions Empirically & Finding Expected Values

In this lesson, we will look at creating a discrete probability distribution given a set of discrete data. We will also look at determining the expected value of the distribution.
Binomial Experiments: Definition, Characteristics & Examples

5. Binomial Experiments: Definition, Characteristics & Examples
