6. Random Variables (Discrete and Continuous)

Random variables are essential in modeling uncertainty in various contexts such as engineering and applied sciences. Distinguishing between discrete and continuous random variables enriches the understanding of probabilistic models and outcomes. The chapter covers key concepts including probability mass functions, probability density functions, expectation, and variance, which play significant roles in analyzing random variables.
