Continuous Variable: can take on any value between two specified values. Obtained by measuring. Covariance: a measure of the direction of the linear relationship between two variables. Discrete ...

This chapter introduces the concept of random variables and discrete random vari¬ables in particular. We then discuss several important discrete probability distribu¬tions directly applicable to ...
