Lesson: Discrete Random Variables Mathematics

Students will be able to

• understand what a discrete random variable is,
• determine whether a random variable is discrete given a context,
• identify the sample space of an experiment,
• represent the probability distribution of a discrete random variable using a table, probability mass function, or a diagram,
• find unknown values given the table or function of a discrete random variable,
• determine if a function or table for a discrete random variable is valid or not,
• find a probability table or function given a context,
• calculate probabilities of events given a probability distribution.
