Linear Combinations of Random Variables

Linear Combinations of Random Variables is a part of the VCE Specialist Maths topic Probability and Statistics. A random variable is the outcome of a randomised experiment in which the value is due to chance. Linear combinations are expressions constructed from a set of numbers which are multiplied by a constant. The results of the multiplications are then summed.

In this post, we look at using linear combinations and random variables in the context of probability.
