A discrete random variable is a type of random variable that can take on a countable set of distinct values. Common examples include the number of children in a family, the outcome of rolling a die, ...

In a raffle with 20 tickets, 6 tickets are drawn for prizes. The first prize winner gets $\$20$, 2 second prize winners get $\$10$, and three third prize winners get $\$5$. What is the sample space ...

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 ...

Abstract: An information-theoretic proof of a strengthened version of the classical discrete central limit theorem is presented. Using only information-theoretic and elementary arguments, convergence ...
