A random variable assigns a number to
each outcome of an experiment
Random Variables
Definition:
A random variable is a numerical-valued
variable whose value is based on the
outcome of a random event.
Denoted by upper-case letters X, Y, etc.
When the number of possible values of X is finite
(number of heads in 3 tosses of a coin) or
countably infinite (number of tosses until you get
3 heads in a row), the random variable is
discrete. (Will study continuous rv’s later).
Examples: Discrete rv’s
1. X = # of games played in a randomly
selected World Series
Possible values of X are x=4, 5, 6, 7
2. Y=score on 13th hole (par 5) at Augusta
National golf course for a randomly
selected golfer on day 1 of 2015 Masters
y=3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Examples: Discrete rv’s
Number of girls in a 5 child family
Number of customers that use an ATM in
a 1-hour period.
Number of tosses of a fair coin that is
required until you get 3 heads in a row
(note that this discrete random variable
has a countably infinite number of
possible values: x=3, 4, 5, 6, 7, . . .)

Interpretation
E(x) is not the value of the random
variable x that you “expect” to observe if
you perform the experiment once
Interpretation
E(x) is a “long run” average; if you
perform the experiment many times and
observe the random variable x each time,
then the average x of these observed xvalues will get closer to E(x) as you
observe more and more values of the
random variable x.
Example: Green Mountain

E(x)=$0(.999) + $500(.001) = $.50
Example (cont.)
E(x)=$.50
On average, each ticket wins $.50.
Important for Vermont to know
E(x) is not necessarily a possible value of
the random variable (values of x are $0
and $500)

US Roulette Wheel
and Table
 The roulette wheel has
alternating black and
red slots numbered 1
through 36.
 There are also 2 green
slots numbered 0 and
00.
 A bet on any one of
the 38 numbers (1-36,
0, or 00) pays odds of
35:1; that is . . .
 If you bet $1 on the
winning number, you
receive $36, so your
winnings are $35
American Roulette 0 - 00
(The European version has
only one 0.)

New Expected Value
Long (UNC-CH) way:
E(x+2)=12(.20)+7(.40)+3(.25)+(-2)(.15)
= 5.65
Smart (NCSU) way:
a=2; E(x+2) =E(x) + 2 = 3.65 + 2 = 5.65
New Variance and SD
Long (UNC-CH) way: (compute from
“scratch”)
Var(X+2)=(12-5.65)2(0.20)+…
+(-2+5.65)2(0.15) = 19.3275
SD(X+2) = √19.3275 = 4.40
Smart (NCSU) way:
Var(X+2) = Var(X) = 19.3275
SD(X+2) = SD(X) = 4.40
Rules for E(X), Var(X) and SD(X):
multiplying by constant b
E(bX)=b E(X)
 Var(b X) = b2Var(X)
 SD(bX)= |b|SD(X)
 Example: b =-1
 E(bX)=E(-X)=-E(X)
 Var(bX)=Var(-1X)=
=(-1)2Var(X)=Var(X)
 SD(bX)=SD(-1X)=
=|-1|SD(X)=SD(X)
Expected Value and SD of Linear
Transformation a + bx
Let X=number of repairs a new computer needs each year.
Suppose E(X)= 0.20 and SD(X)=0.55
The service contract for the computer offers unlimited repairs
for $100 per year plus a $25 service charge for each repair.
What are the mean and standard deviation of the yearly cost of
the service contract?
Cost = $100 + $25X
E(cost) = E($100+$25X)=$100+$25E(X)=$100+$25*0.20=
= $100+$5=$105
SD(cost)=SD($100+$25X)=SD($25X)=$25*SD(X)=$25*0.55=
=$13.75
Addition and Subtraction Rules
for Random Variables
 E(X+Y) = E(X) + E(Y);
 E(X-Y) = E(X) - E(Y)
 When X and Y are independent random variables:
1. Var(X+Y)=Var(X)+Var(Y)
2. SD(X+Y)= Var ( X )  Var (Y )
SD’s do not add:
SD(X+Y)≠ SD(X)+SD(Y)
3. Var(X−Y)=Var(X)+Var(Y)
4. SD(X −Y)= Var ( X )  Var (Y )
SD’s do not subtract:
SD(X−Y)≠ SD(X)−SD(Y)
SD(X−Y)≠ SD(X)+SD(Y)
Motivation for
Var(X-Y)=Var(X)+Var(Y)
 Let X=amount automatic dispensing machine
puts into your 16 oz drink (say at McD’s)
 A thirsty, broke friend shows up.
Let Y=amount you pour into friend’s 8 oz cup
 Let Z = amount left in your cup; Z = ?
 Z = X-Y
Has 2 +
components
Var(Y)
 Var(Z) = Var(X-Y) = Var(X)
Example: rv’s NOT independent
 X=number of hours a randomly selected student from our
class slept between 9 am yesterday and 9 am today.
 Y=number of hours a randomly selected student from our
class was awake between 9 am yesterday and 9 am today.
Y = 24 – X.
 What are the expected value and variance of the total hours
that a student is asleep and awake between 9 am yesterday
and 9 am today?
 Total hours that a student is asleep and awake between 9
am yesterday and 9 am today = X+Y
 E(X+Y) = E(X+24-X) = E(24) = 24
 Var(X+Y) = Var(X+24-X) = Var(24) = 0.
 We don't add Var(X) and Var(Y) since X and Y are not
independent.
