Definition
• Each observation of an experiment is a random variable. (e.g. X)
• The set of possible values of a random variable is called the range of a random variable. (e.g. SX)
• English translation: {X=x} emphasizes the idea that there is a set of sample points s within S (the sample space) for which X(s)=x.
