Question | Answer |
random variable | a variable( tyically represented by x) that has a single numerical value, determined by chance, for each outcome of a procedure |
Probability distribution | a sescription that gives the probability for each value of the random variable; often expressed in the format of a graph, table, or formula |
Continuous random variable | infinitely many values, and those values can be associated with measurements on a continuous scale without gaps or interruptions |
Discrete random variable | either a finite number of values or countable number of values, where "countable" refers to the fact that there might be infinitely many values, but they result from a counting process. |
Unusually high | x successes among n trials is an unusually high number of successes if p(x or more) is less than or equal to 0.05 |
unusually low | x successes among n trials is usually low number of success if p(xor fewer) is less than or equal to 0.05 |
range rule of thumb | most values should lie within 2 standard deviations of the mean. |
expected value | of a discrete random variable is denoted by E, and it represents the mean value of the outcomes. |
