Random Variable. A random variable X is a function that assign a real number, X ( ζ ), to each outcome ζ in the sample space of a random experiment. Domain of the random variable -- S Range of the random variable -- S x

Outline: Independence. Odds ratios. Random variables. Distribution function, pmf, density. Expected value . Independence: P(B | A) = P(B) (and vice versa) [so, when independent, P(A&B) = P(A)P(B|A) = P(A)P(B).] Reasonable to assume the following are independent:
