In Part I we looked at the scenario of rolling a fair six-sided die. Let X be the random variable representing outcome of rolling that die.
Is the random variable discrete or continuous?
Fill in the table to obtain the Probability Distribution:
X = x
P(X =x)
| X = x | P(X =x) |
Solution
It is DISCRETE, as the outcomes can only be integers from 1 to 6. It cannot take decimal values in between.
******************
As each outcome is has the same probability, then:
| x | P(x) |
| 1 | 1/6 |
| 2 | 1/6 |
| 3 | 1/6 |
| 4 | 1/6 |
| 5 | 1/6 |
| 6 | 1/6 |
