A random variable is a rule that assigns a numeric value to every possible outcome in a sample space. Random variables may be discrete or continuous in nature. A random variable is discrete if it assumes only discrete values within a specified interval.
每天阅读一点点,每天进步一点点We have discussed how the Monte Carlo technique must compute samples from a probability distribution p(x). Therefore, we want to find samples such that the distribution…
In addition, there is a probability for each event based on a random variable. We will consider two types of random variables: discrete and continuous. It is easier to work with a discrete random variable because you can make a list of all of its possible values. You will learn about ...
Example 2.2. Consider two independent coin tosses, each with a 3/4 probability of a head, and let X be the number of heads obtained. This is a binomial random variable with parameters n = 2 and p = 3/4 . Its PMF is p_{X}\left(k\right)= \begin{cases} \binom{2}{0}p^{0...
In many practical problems, especially in mathematical statistics, it is necessary to know how to find the distribution of a function of a random variable. The probability of occurrence of the random variables Y = 蠁(x) in a set B is equal to the probability of occurrence of the random ...

In this random variable example, to find the probability that the dart lands within 0.2 meters of the center of the target denoted P(x < 0.2), integrate the probability density functionf(x)=−2x+2over the range[0,0.2]: P(x<0.2)=∫00.2(−2x+2)dx=0.36 ...
1. Continuous Random Variables and Probability Density Functions A random variable whose set of possible values is an entire interval of numbers is not discrete. Continuous Random Variables A random variable X is said to be continuous if its set of possible values is an entire interval of numbers...
