A variable is defined as a characteristic or attribute that can assume different values.
A variable whose values are determined by chance is called a random variable.

A discrete probability distribution consists of the values a random variable can assume and the corresponding probabilities of the values.
The probabilities are determined theoretically or by observation.

The mean of the random variable of a probability distribution is
where X1 , X2 , …, Xn are outcomes and P(X1), P(X2), …, P(Xn) are the corresponding probabilities.
µ = X1 • P(X1) + X2 • P(X2) + … + Xn • P(Xn)
= X • P(X)

Binomial experiment is a probability experiment that satisfies the following four requirements:
1. Each trial can have only two outcomes or outcomes that can be reduced to two outcomes. These outcomes can be considered as either success or failure.
2. There must be fixed number of trials.
