Roll a die and ask students to identify the random variable. Since a die can only take on values of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, this is a discrete random variable. Repeat ...

The total area under the curve must equal 1, representing the fact that the probability of some outcome occurring within the entire range is certain. \[\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}f\left(x\right)dx=1\] ...

Amusement park patrons, wanting to go on a log ride, might not have to wait in line at all, they might have to wait for hours, or the wait could be anywhere in between. For a random log rider, the ...

Abstract: We introduce the domain of continuous random variables (CRV) over a domain, as an alternative to Jones and Plotkin's probabilistic power domain. While no known Cartesian-closed category is ...

Abstract: Mixed type random variables contain both continuous and discrete components, and their role is critical in many well-studied fields. Queuing analysis, stock options, and hydrology rainfall ...
