We began Lecture 11 with a last example of a 2D random variable. We then presented three important discrete variables: the binomial random variable, the geometric random variable, and the Poisson random variable. We then moved on to the topic of "functions of a random variable". The formula for obtaining the probability mass function of a function of a random variable was given, and we illustrated it with two simple examples. We finished the lecture with a short illustration of a research-level image processing problem for which discrete distributions are useful.
