Lecture 3 - Discrete Random Variables#

Objectives#

  • Model the result of an experiment with discrete outcomes using the concept of random variables.

  • Calculate the probability that the result of an experiment falls within a given set of possibilities.

  • Summarize the result of an experiment using the concepts of expectation and variance.

  • To develop intuition about the probability mass function.

  • To learn about the Binomial distribution.

  • To learn about the Poisson distribution.
