2.1 Random Variable Concept • Given an experiment defined by a sample space S with elements s, we assign a real numberto every saccording to some rule as follows; • X : a function that maps all elements of the sample space into points on the real line
Example 2.1-1 • Rolling a die and flipping a coin • Sample space {H,T} x {1,2, ..., 6} • Let the r.v. be a function X as follows • A coin head (H) outcome -> positive value shown up on the die • A coin tail (T) outcome -> negative and twice value shown up on the die
Example 2.1-2 • The pointer on a wheel of chance is spun • The possible outcomes are the numbers from 0 to 12 marked on the wheel • Sample space {0 < s 12} • Define a r.v. by the function • Points in S map onto the real line as the set {0 < x 144}
2.1 Random Variable Concept • Conditions for a Function to be a Random Variable • Every point in S must correspond to only one value of the r.v. • The set { X x} shall be an event for any real number x • The set {X(s) x} corresponds to those points s in the sample space for which the X(s) does not exceed the number x This means that the set is not a set of numbers but a set of experimental outcomes • The probabilities of the events {X=} and {X=- } shall be 0: • This condition does not prevent X from being either - or for some values of s; it only requires that the prob. of the set of those s be zero The function that maps outcomes in the following manner can not be a r.v. ... ... - -2 -1 0 1 2
