We can get eitherWe can get eitherno headno head ororoneone head orhead ortwotwoheadsheads from this trial. So, the discrete randomfrom this trial. So, the discrete random
variablevariable X,X, can take the value 0, 1 and 2. Therefore,can take the value 0, 1 and 2. Therefore,

The discrete variable is associated with the

From Figure 7.1 we can see that the areafor every bar in the histogram are the
probability value forX=x. The area of everybar is between 0 and 1 and the total areaof the bars are equal to 1. Thus, weunderstand the total probability of all the
random variables, X in the sample spaceshould equal to 1.
Probability for X is written within the range
, and the total = 1.
