Discrete Chance Node
====================

A *discrete chance node* represents a discrete random variable with a finite number of states. A discrete chance node can be added to the current network by activating the :ref:`discrete chance tool<discrete_chance_tool>` and clicking somewhere in the :ref:`Network Pane<Network_pane>`.

When :ref:`propagating<propagation>`, you can see the probabilities of each state in a discrete chance node either in the :ref:`Node List Pane<node_list_pane>` or by opening a :ref:`monitor window<monitor_windows>` for the node.

Discrete chance nodes are assigned a :ref:`type<node_Type>`.
