- Central moment - Skewness - Kurtosis - Standard Error of the Mean (SEM) - Confidence interval In probability and statistics, a random variable is a variable whose value is subject to variations due to chance. A random variable can take on a set of possible different values (similarly to other mathematical variables), each with an associated probability, in contrast to other mathematical variables. The mathematical function describing the possible values of a random variable and their associated probabilities is known as a probability distribution. Random variables can be discrete, that is, taking any of a specified finite or countable list of values, endowed with a probability mass function, characteristic of a probability distribution; or continuous, taking any numerical value in an interval or collection of intervals, via a probability density function that is characteristic of a probability distribution; or a mixture of both types. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_variable
