A '''random variable''' can be thought of 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.
