Definition
Let $\struct {\Omega, \Sigma, \Pr}$ be a probability space.
Let $\struct {S, \Sigma'}$ be a measurable space.
Let $X$ be a random variable on $\struct {\Omega, \Sigma, \Pr}$ taking values in $\struct {S, \Sigma'}$.
Then we say that $X$ is a discrete random variable on $\struct {\Omega, \Sigma, \Pr}$ taking values in $\struct {S, \Sigma'}$ if and only if:
