2. Random variables

The aim here is to associate a quantifiable value with the various possible outcomes of a random experiment. In the case of a throw of two dice, we might consider the sum of the results; in the case of the velocity of a particle, we might study the energy $\int_{t_{1}}^{t_{2}} {| v (t) |}^{2} d t$ . We are interested, for example, in knowing the likelihood of the set of results of the experiment for which such a value lies within a given interval of
