Random Variable
Videos and lessons to help High School students learn how to
define a random variable for a quantity of interest by assigning a
numerical value to each event in a sample space; graph the
corresponding probability distribution using the same graphical
displays as for data distributions.

Random Variable Basics
In this video we discuss the basics of random variables for
statistics and finite mathematics. What is a random variable? How do
we use simple random variables to model basic experiments and record
observations about the frequency of certain events? Several
real-world examples are included to make the concepts concrete.
