Discrete Random Variable: random

# of values (0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.)/infinite
sequence of values (0, 1, 2, …).




Probability 2 cars sold per day?
▪ 𝑃(𝑥 = 2) = 𝑓(2) = 0.24
Probability, at most, 2 cars sold per

For any discrete probability

true:
▪ = 0.18 + 0.39 + 0.24 = 0.81
Probability more than 2 cars sold per
day?
Continuous Random Variable: random
