We can think of a '''random variable''' as the numeric result of operating a non-deterministic mechanism or performing a non-deterministic experiment to generate a [[random]] result. For example, rolling a die and recording the outcome yields a random variable with range {1,2,3,4,5,6}. Picking a random person and measuring their height yields another random variable.
