CHAPTER ONE 1.1. RANDOM VARIABLES One of the basic ideas in probability is that of a random variable. In many cases this is simply the numerical variable under consideration. For example, if a coin is tossed twice, the number of heads which turn up can be either 0, 1 or 2 according to the outcome of the experiment. We say that the number of heads is a random variable, since it expresses the result of the experiment as a number. Other simple random variables are the temperature of a chemical pr...
