The formula, if any, depends on the probability distribution function for the variable. In the case of a discrete variable, X, this defines the probability that X = x. For a continuous variable, the probability density function is a continuous function, f(x), such that Pr(a < X < b) is the area under the function f, between a and b (or the definite integral or f, with respect to x, between a and b.

Is the random variable x equals 1 be stated that the random variable is discrete?
If x = 1 then X is not really a random variable but a constant.
What the deference between variable and variate?
A random variate is a particular outcome of a random variable: the random variates which are other outcomes of the same random variable would have different values.
Can the Poisson distribution be a continuous random variable or a discrete random variable?
True
Define a normal random variable?
I have included two links. A normal random variable is a random variable whose associated probability distribution is the normal probability distribution. By definition, a random variable has to have an associated distribution. The normal distribution (probability density function) is defined by a mathematical formula with a mean and standard deviation as parameters. The normal distribution is ofter called a bell-shaped curve, because of its symmetrical shape. It is not the only symmetrical distribution. The two links should provide more information beyond this simple definition.
What is the difference between random variable and random process?
A random variable is a variable which can take different values and the values that it takes depends on some probability distribution rather than a deterministic rule. A random process is a process which can be in a number of different states and the transition from one state to another is random.
Is the gender of college students a discrete random variable a continuous random variable or not a random variable?
It is a discrete random variable.
When random variable is variable?
When it is random it is variable.
Is the random variable x equals 1 be stated that the random variable is discrete?
If x = 1 then X is not really a random variable but a constant.
What the deference between variable and variate?
A random variate is a particular outcome of a random variable: the random variates which are other outcomes of the same random variable would have different values.
Can the Poisson distribution be a continuous random variable or a discrete random variable?
True
A variable whose value is a numerical outcome of a random phenomenon is called?
random variable.
Is the expected value of a discrete random variable equal to the mean of the random variable?
yes?
What is the difference between random variable and random variate?
Random variables is a function that can produce outcomes with different probability and random variates is the particular outcome of a random variable.
What type of variable has an unpredictable impact on the dependent variable?
A random variable.
Find a formula for the probability distribution of the random variable x representing the outcome when a single die is rolled once?
Possible Outcomes when die is rolleddot showed by die , possible outcome in single roll1,12,13,14,15,16,1thus , formula for the probability distribution of the random variable x will beP(X=x) = x/6Cx Where as x = 1
What is a random variable?
A random variable is a function that assigns unique numerical values to all possible outcomes of a random experiment. A real valued function defined on a sample space of an experiment is also called random variable.
What is the probability that the random variable has a value less than 5?
That depends on the rules that define the random variable.
