2A discrete random variable is a variable which....
- AValues are whole numbers
- BCounting is involved
- CIt's possible to calculate a value for P(X=x)
- DValues are measured and not counted e.g. student's height
- EYou can't know the exact probability of something, only the probability of an interval
- FMight look like a binomial or Piossion distribution
- GMight not have a recognised pattern, but can be defined by an equation, graph or table
- HPossible distributions are: normal, rectangular (continuous uniform) & triangular
3A contiuous random variable is a variable in which....
- AValues are measured, not counted
- BP(X=x) = 0 for any value of x e.g. you can't be exactly 1.6m tall, but you can find the probability that x lies within an interval P(x1 < X < x2) i.e. you can find the probability that your height is between 1.60-1.61m
