random variables

Random variables are mathematical functions that assign a numerical value to each outcome of a random experiment. They provide a way to represent uncertainty or variability in quantitative terms. Random variables are essential in probability and statistics, allowing us to analyze and model probabilistic phenomena such as flipping a coin or rolling a die. By understanding the properties of random variables, we can calculate probabilities, determine expected values, and measure the variability of outcomes in various scenarios.
