RANDOM

EXPERIMENT
 A Random Experiment is an experiment, trial, or observation
that can be repeated numerous times under the same
conditions. The outcome of an individual random experiment
must be independent and identically distributed.
 A random experiment is an experiment or a process for which

the outcome cannot be predicted with certainty.


Examples of Random experiment include:

 The tossing of a coin. The experiment can yield two


possible outcomes, heads or tails.
 The roll of a die. The experiment can yield six

possible outcomes, this outcome is the number 1 to 6 as


the die faces are labelled.
 The time difference between two messages arriving at a

message centre. This experiment can yield any number


of possible outcomes
 The time difference between two different voice calls over a
particular network. This too can yield any number of
possible outcomes.
Random Experiment in statistics 

 In statistics, the random experiment is the observation


of events having uncertain outcomes. For example, in a
bag ten bulbs are there among which few are defective.
If you start taking out one bulb at a time and check if it
is defective or not, this will be known as a trial.
Observations are made from each trial, and in the end a
statistical inference is made out of it. The number of
repetitions of experiment is known as size of
experiment. The statistical inference depends a lot on
the size of experiment.
Random Experiment and random variable
 A random experiment, as we have already discussed, is a
process of observing events with uncertainty whose set of
outcomes is known as sample space. A random variable is
a function which maps every member of the sample space
to a real number. It can be represented as f:S→R. The
value of random variable is dependent on the output of
the experiment. It can be denoted  by a capital letter. For
example, if a die is rolled the sample space, S = {1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6}.The probability of a 6 coming in the outcome can
be written as P(X=6). A random variable can be discrete
or continuous based on the type of value it can take.
Random Experiment and Sample Space

 The output of a random experiment is known as an


outcome or event .The set of all the outcomes of a
random experiment is known as sample space. If we
toss a coin, it becomes a random experiment as  the
output is uncertain. The output can be head or tail.
Then the sample space becomes s= Head or Tail
Random Experiment in Probability

 Random experiment is defined with its set of outcomes


known as sample space. When a random experiment is
carried out, the probability of getting a certain output is
calculated on the basis of number of favourable
outcomes and total number of outcomes. If number of
favourable outcomes is n(E) and total number of
outcomes is n(S) then the probability of occurrence if
getting an output E will be
P(E) = n(E)/n(S),
