About this lesson
This video is the first in a new series which looks at Discrete Random Variables as part of the VCE (Year 11) Units 1 and 2 Mathematical Methods course. Using an example of tossing a coin three times, I show how we can come up with a probability distribution table. I then show, using examples, how we can interpret these tables to extract various values. The examples and theory are explained in an easy to understand way helping you to smash maths!
