Chap 5- Random Varable Random Varable Outcomes of an experment expressed numercally E.g., Toss a de twce; count the number of tmes the number 4 appears (0, 1 or tmes) E.g., Toss a con; assgn $10 to head and -$30 to a tal = $10 T = -$ Prentce-Hall, Inc. Chap 5-3

Chap 5-4 Dscrete Probablty Dstrbuton Example Event: Toss Cons Count # Tals T T Probablty Dstrbuton Values Probablty 0 1/4 =.5 1 /4 =.50 1/4 =.5 T T Ths s usng the A Pror Classcal Probablty approach. 004 Prentce-Hall, Inc.
