Unggal variabel acak gives rise to a probability distribution, and this distribution contains most of the important information about the variable. If X is a random variable, the corresponding probability distribution assigns to the interval [a, b] the probability Pr[a ≤ X ≤ b], i.e. the probability that the variable X will take a value in the interval [a, b].

A distribution is called discrete if its cumulative distribution function consists of a sequence of finite jumps, which méans that it belongs to a discrete random variable X: a variable which can only attain values from a certain finite or countable set. 
A distribution is called continuous if its cumulative distribution function is continuous, which méans that it belongs to a random variable X for which Pr[ X = x ] = 0 for all x in R.

The so-called absolutely continuous distributions can be expressed by a fungsi dénsitas probabilitas: a non-negative Lebesgue integrable function f defined on the réals such that

for all a and b. That discrete distributions do not admit such a density is unsurprising, but there are continuous distributions like the devil's staircase that also do not admit a density.

The support of a distribution is the smallest closed set whose complement has probability zero.

 Sebaran degenerate dina x0, nu mana X mangrupa nilai penting dicokot jadi nilai x0. This does not look random, but it satisfies the definition of variabel acak. This is useful because it puts deterministic variables and random variables in the same formalism.
 The discrete uniform distribution, where all elements of a finite set are equally likely. This is supposed to be the distribution of a balanced coin, an unbiased die, a casino roulette or a well-shuffled deck. Also, one can use méasurements of quantum states to generate uniform random variables. All these are "physical" or "mechanical" devices, subject to design flaws or perturbations, so the uniform distribution is only an approximation of their behaviour. In digital computers, pseudo-random number generators are used to produced a statistically random discrete uniform distribution.
 The Bernoulli distribution, which takes value 1 with probability p and value 0 with probability q=1-p.

 The geometric distribution, a discrete distribution which describes the number of attempts needed to get the first success in a series of independent Yes/No experiments.
 The negative binomial distribution, a generalization of the géometric distribution to the nth success.
 The Poisson distribution, which describes the number of rare events that happen in a certain time interval.
 The Boltzmann distribution, a discrete distribution important in statistical physics which describes the probabilities of the various discrete energy levels of a system in thermal equilibrium. It has a contiuous analogue. Special cases include
 The Gibbs distribution
 The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution
 The Bose-Einstein distribution
 The Fermi-Dirac distribution
 The zeta distribution has uses in applied statistics and statistical mechanics, and perhaps may be of interest to number théorists.
