- 5.1 RANDOM VARIABLES
● A numerical description of the outcome of
an experiment.
● A variable that assume random values,
we don’t know in advance
● Example:
● The upper face of a dice
● The score of customer satisfaction in a
survey
● Time between customer arrivals in minutes
● Two types:
● Discrete
● Continuous

- A discrete random variable
● A type of random variables that assume a
finite number of values or an infinite sequence
of discrete values
© Nguyễn Tiến Dũng Applied Statistics for Business 4
- Continuous Random Variables
● A random variable that may assume any
numerical value in an interval or collection of
intervals

- 5.2 DISCRETE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS
● Required conditions for a discrete f ( x ) 0
probability function:
f ( x ) 1
● Example: the number of automobiles sold
during a day at Dicarlo motors (Table 5.4)
x f(x)
0 0.18
1 0.39
2 0.24
3 0.14
4 0.04
5 0.01

- Discrete Uniform Probability Function
● f(x) = 1/n
● n = the number of values the random variable may have
● Example:
● x = the number of dots on the upward face of a dice
● x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
● f(x) = 1/6

- 5.3 EXPECTED VALUE AND VARIANCE
● Expected value
E(x)
●𝐸 𝑥 =𝜇= 𝑥𝑓(𝑥)
● Example:
Calculation of the
expected value for
the number of
automobiles sold
during a day at
Dicarlo Motors
● Table 5.5

- ● Variance
● 𝑉𝑎𝑟 𝑥 = 𝜎 2 = 𝑥 − 𝜇 2 𝑓(𝑥)

- 5.4 Bivariate Distribution
● A probability distribution involving two random
variables is called a bivariate probability
distribution.

- 5.5 BINOMIAL PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION
● Properties of a binomial experiment
1. The experiment consists of a
sequence of n identical trials.
2. Two outcomes are possible on each
trial. We refer to one outcome as a
success and the other outcome as
a failure.
3. The probability of a success,
denoted by p, does not change from
trial to trial. Consequently, the
probability of a failure, denoted by 1
p, does not change from trial to trial.
4. The trials are independent.
