From video: What are Discrete Distributions? A lesson in Probability
Published: March 12, 2026

Video Description

𝙎𝙄𝙂𝙉 𝙐𝙋 for tastefully infrequent updates about our upcoming Probability & Statistics course. 💌 https://snu.socratica.com/probability-statistics-course Coins, dice, and even random integers all have something in common: a set of distinct outcomes you can list. That’s the world of discrete random variables. Here we compare & contrast discrete and continuous random variables and learn the rules a discrete distribution must follow. We'll even see a surprising case where there are infinitely many outcomes but the distribution is still discrete! ▶️ 𝙒𝘼𝙏𝘾𝙃 𝙉𝙀𝙓𝙏: Normal Distributions https://youtu.be/xlxaa9YhT6A We'd like to send a special thank you to our VIP Patrons at Patreon!
