Exact upper tail probabilities of random series
... variables, but those estimates are not exact. The first exact upper tail probability was derived in [19] with i.i.d. nonnegative {ξj } having regular variation at infinity, where the coefficients {aj } could be random.

Sample Spaces, Random Variables - Statistics
... A random variable X is a function from Ω to the real numbers. Thus, for each ω, X(ω) is a real number. In talking about the value of a random variable at a particular sample point, the argument ω is usually suppressed. Most of probability and statistics deals with the study of random variables.

... (b) Conclude that all the jobs finish executing with high probability after O(log log n) steps. Again “high probability” means with probability > (1 − 1/n). Here you will need to handle the case when the number of jobs remaining is very small and thus α2 n is not greater than c log n. ...

The Law of Large Numbers
... Informally, this just means that for n large, that average is very close to the expected value with probability very close to 1. 7. Remember, the model of a probability space and expected value is something which we set up with the HOPE that it will be some kind of model of experiments (at least). ...

Discrete Random Variables
... Of course, the number of policies sold each day is random, so we can’t say for sure how many policies we will sell in any particular time period (day, week, year, etc.). However, we certainly know what we expect to happen. Probabilities indicate the long term frequency of an event. In the long term, ...

Randomness
Randomness is the lack of pattern or predictability in events. A random sequence of events, symbols or steps has no order and does not follow an intelligible pattern or combination. Individual random events are by definition unpredictable, but in many cases the frequency of different outcomes over a large number of events (or ""trials"") is predictable. For example, when throwing two dice, the outcome of any particular roll is unpredictable, but a sum of 7 will occur twice as often as 4. In this view, randomness is a measure of uncertainty of an outcome, rather than haphazardness, and applies to concepts of chance, probability, and information entropy.The fields of mathematics, probability, and statistics use formal definitions of randomness. In statistics, a random variable is an assignment of a numerical value to each possible outcome of an event space. This association facilitates the identification and the calculation of probabilities of the events. Random variables can appear in random sequences. A random process is a sequence of random variables whose outcomes do not follow a deterministic pattern, but follow an evolution described by probability distributions. These and other constructs are extremely useful in probability theory and the various applications of randomness.Randomness is most often used in statistics to signify well-defined statistical properties. Monte Carlo methods, which rely on random input (such as from random number generators or pseudorandom number generators), are important techniques in science, as, for instance, in computational science. By analogy, quasi-Monte Carlo methods use quasirandom number generators.Random selection is a method of selecting items (often called units) from a population where the probability of choosing a specific item is the proportion of those items in the population. For example, with a bowl containing just 10 red marbles and 90 blue marbles, a random selection mechanism would choose a red marble with probability 1/10. Note that a random selection mechanism that selected 10 marbles from this bowl would not necessarily result in 1 red and 9 blue. In situations where a population consists of items that are distinguishable, a random selection mechanism requires equal probabilities for any item to be chosen. That is, if the selection process is such that each member of a population, of say research subjects, has the same probability of being chosen then we can say the selection process is random.
