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.


A numerical value calculated for a sample is called a?

A numerical value calculated for a sample is called a descriptive statistic.

What is the name of the variable plotted on the x axis?

the variable on the x axis is called the independent variable. the y axis is called the dependant variable


What is meant by probability distribution?

I will give first the non-mathematical definition as given by Triola in Elementary Statistics: A random variable is a variable typicaly represented by x that has a a single numerical value, determined by chance for each outcome of a procedure. A probability distribution is a graph, table or formula that gives the probabability for each value of the random variable. A mathematical definition given by DeGroot in "Probability and Statistics" A real valued function that is defined in space S is called a random variable. For each random variable X and each set A of real numbers, we could calculate the probabilities. The collection of all of these probabilities is the distribution of X. Triola gets accross the idea of a collection as a table, graph or formula. Further to the definition is the types of distributions- discrete or continuous. Some well know distribution are the normal distribution, exponential, binomial, uniform, triangular and Poisson.

What is the variable that responds to the variable being changed by the scientist?

Usually this is called the DEPENDENT VARIABLE (DV, aka outcome, criterion...). The scientist manipulates the independent variable and it is their HOPE that the dependent variable will change in response.


What is the scientific term of independent variable?

Independentvariableis:a factor or phenomenon thatcausesorinfluencesanotherassociatedfactor or phenomenon called adependent variable. For example,incomeis an independentvariablebecause it causes and influences another variableconsumption. In a mathematicalequationormodel, the independent variable is the variable whosevalueis given. In anexperiment, it is the controlledcondition(that is allowed tochangein asystematicmanner) whose effect on thebehaviorof a dependent variable is studied.
