In the previous chapter, we discussed some characteristics of random variables. However, there is still a critical aspect of their sample spaces that we need to discuss and understand to solve problems. Returning to the die example, we know that the sample space associated with one throw contains all integer numbers from one through six. While that is helpful information, the sample space alone tells us nothing about how likely we are to roll a specific number.
Until now, we have assumed that each die face is ...
