Rationale for Expectations of Continuous Random Variables Rök fyrir vongildi samfelldrar hendingar Suppose that a random experiment leads to an outcome that can be represented by a continuous random variable. If N independent replications of this experiment are carried out, then the expected value of the random variable is the average of the values taken, as the number of replications becomes infinitely large. The expected value of a random variable is denoted by E(X). Hugsum okkur að slembin tilraun geti leitt til niðurstöður sem hægt er setja fram sem samfellda hendingu. Ef N óháðar endurtekningar af þessari tilraun eru framkvæmdar þá er vongildi expected value hendingarinnar meðaltal gildanna sem eru niðurstöður tilraunanna þegar endurtekningarnar verða óendanlega margar. Vongildi samfelldrar hendingar er táknað með E(X).
Rationale for Expectations of Continuous Random Variables Rökin fyrir vongildi falls af samfelldri hendingu (continued) Similarly, if g(x) is any function of the random variable, X, then the expected value of this function is the average value taken by the function over repeated independent trials, as the number of trials becomes infinitely large. This expectation is denoted E[g(X)]. By using calculus we can define expected values for continuous random variables similarly to that used for discrete random variables. Á sama hátt ef g(x) er fall af hendingu X þá er vongildi þessa falls meðalgildi fallsins sem fæst með því að framkvæma óendanlegan fjölda óháðra tilrauna reikna fallgildi í sérhvert skipti og reikna svo meðaltal fallgildanna sem komu út.. Þetta vongildi er táknað með E[g(X)]. Með því að nota örsmæðarreikning fyrir samfelldar hendingar fyrir öll gildi á X á sama hátt og við notuðum útreikninga fyrir ósamfelldar hendingar:
Mean, Variance, and Standard Deviation Let X be a continuous random variable. There are two important expected values that are used routinely to define continuous probability distributions. • The mean of X, denoted by X, is defined as the expected value of X.

Það eru tvö mikilvæg vongildi til sem eru venjubundið notuð til að skilgreina líkindadreifingar samfelldra hendinga. • Vongildið af X, X, er skilgreint sem • The variance of X, denoted by X2, is defined as the expectation of the squared deviation, (X - X)2, of a random variable from its mean ii. Dreifni X, táknað með X2, er skilgreint sem vongildi af fráviki hendingar frá meðaltali í öðru veldi, (X - X)2, o Or an alternative expression can be derived • The standard deviation of X, X, is the square root of the variance. iii.

Hversu stórt hlutfall nemenda verður með einkunn á milli 85 og 95? That is, 3.76% of the students obtained scores in the range 85 to 95.
Approximating Binomial Probabilities Using the Normal Distribution Nálgun tvíliðunardreifingar með normaldreifingu Let X be the number of successes from n independent Bernoulli trials, each with probability of success . The number of successes, X, is a Binomial random variable and if n(1 - ) > 9 a good approximation is Látum X vera fjölda heppnaðara atburða úr n óháðum Bernoulli tilraunum þar sem sérhver hefur líkurnar á að heppnast.

Þ.e.: ii. The cumulative distribution functions F(x1), F(x2), . . .,F(xk) of the individual random variables are called their marginal distribution functions. For any i, F(xi) is the probability that the random variable Xi does not exceed the specific value xi.

Marginal Distribution for Bivariate Distribution Látum X og Y vera sundurleitar hendingar (discreate random variables) Bivariate distribution með n pörum (pairs) gilda (values) má setja fram sem: (x1,y1), (x2,y2),(x3,y3),...,(xn,yn) Jaðardreifingu X má skrifa sem Jaðardreifingu Y má skrifa sem
Covariance Let X and Y be a pair of continuous random variables, with respective means x and y. The expected value of (x - x)(Y - y) is called the covariance between X and Y. That is Látum X og Y vera pör samfelldra hendinga með vongildi x og y. Vongildið af (x - x)(Y - y) er kallað samdreifni milli X og Y. Það er: An alternative but equivalent expression can be derived as Annars konar framsetning en jafnframt jafngild má leiða út sem If the random variables X and Y are independent, then the covariance between them is 0. However, the converse is not true (i.e. if the convariance is zero, they are not necessarily independent).
Correlation Fylgni Let X and Y be jointly distributed random variables. The correlation between X and Y is Látum X og Y vera sameiginlega dreifðar hendingar. Fylgni milli X og Y er skilgreind sem: Rho hleypur milli -1 og 1. Ef fylgni milli hendinganna (random variables) X og Y er 1 eða -1, þá felur það í sér að setja má fram línulega sambandið Y=a + bX, þar sem a og b eru fastar. Ef b>0 => rho=1 Ef b <0 => rho=-1. Ef X og y eru óháðar (completely unrelated / independent) þá er rho=0. Ef rho=0 =>X og Y eru sagðar vera uncorrelated. En rho túlkar aðeins línulegt samband og rho=0 felur það ekki í sér að X og Y séu alltaf óháðað (independent).

Differences Between a Pair of Random Variables Mismunur milli para hendinga Let X and Y be a pair of random variables with means X and Y and variances X2 and Y2. Then following properties hold: Látum X og Y vera pör af hendingum með vongildi X og Y og dreifni X2 og Y2. Þá gilda eftirfarandi eiginleikar: • The mean of their difference is the difference of their means; that is Vongildi mismunar er mismunur vongilda • If the covariance between X and Y is 0, then the variance of their difference is Ef samdreifni milli X og Y er 0 þá er dreifni mismunar summa dreifninnar • If the covariance between X and Y is not 0, then the variance of their difference is Ef samdreifni milli X og Y er ekki 0 þá er dreifni mismunar
