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.

Term: Random Variables
Definition: Numerical outcomes of random experiments, classified into discrete and continuous variables.
Term: Probability Mass Function (PMF)
Definition: Describes the probabilities of discrete random variables.
Term: Probability Density Function (PDF)
Definition: Describes the probabilities of continuous random variables over an interval.
Term: Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF)
Definition: Function that gives the probability that a random variable is less than or equal to a certain value.
Term: Expectation (Mean)
Definition: The long-term average value of a random variable.
Term: Variance
