   What is random variable Probability?

   • A Random Variable Probability is a mathematical concept that assigns numerical values to outcomes of a sample space. They can describe the outcomes of objective randomness (like tossing a coin) or subjective randomness (results of a cricket game). There are two types of Random Variables- Discrete and Continuous.

   How does a random number algorithm work?

   • It is typically used to reduce either the running time, or time complexity; or the memory used, or space complexity, in a standard algorithm. The algorithm works by generating a random number, \ (r\), within a specified range of numbers, and making decisions based on \ (r\)'s value.

   How to define probability distributions for a specific case of random variables?

   • To define probability distributions for the specific case of random variables (so the sample space can be seen as a numeric set), it is common to distinguish between discrete and absolutely continuous random variables.

   1 day ago · t. e. In probability theory and statistics, a probability distribution is the mathematical function that gives the probabilities of occurrence of different possible outcomes for an experiment. [1] [2] It is a mathematical description of a random phenomenon in terms of its sample space and the probabilities of events ( subsets of the sample space).
