Concept of a Random Variable
Concept of a Random Variable
 Random variable is a function that associates a real number with
each element in the sample space.
 In other words, random variable is a numerical description of the
outcome of an experiment, where each outcome gets assigned a
numerical value.
 A capital letter, say X, is used to denotes a random variable and its
corresponding small letter, x in this case, for one of its values.

The sample space giving a detailed description of each possible
outcome when three electronic components are tested may be
written as
S  DDD, DDN , DND, DNN , NDD, NDN , NND, NNN 
One is concerned with the number of defectives that occurs. Thus
each point in the sample space will be assigned a numerical value of
0, 1, 2, or 3.
Then, the random variable X assumes the value 2 for all elements in
the subset
E   DDN , DND, NDD
Two balls are drawn in succession without
replacement from an urn containing 4 red
balls and 3 black balls. The possible outcomes
and the values y of the random variable Y,
where Y is the number of red balls are

Concept of a Random Variable
Sample Space and Random Variable
 If a sample space contains a finite number of possibilities or an
unending sequence with as many elements as there are whole
numbers, it is called a discrete sample space.
 If a sample space contains an infinite number of possibilities equal
to the number of points on a line segment, it is called a
continuous sample space.
 A random variable is called a discrete random variable if its set
of possible outcomes is countable.
 A random variable is called a continuous random variable if it
can take on values on a continuous scale.
If X is the random variable assigned to the waiting time, in minute,
for a bus at a bus stop, then the random variable X may take on all
values of waiting time x, x ≥ 0.
In this case, X is a continuous random variable.

Discrete Probability Distributions
 Frequently, it is convenient to represent all the probabilities of a
random variable X by a formula.
 Such a formula would necessarily be a function of the numerical
values x, denoted by f(x), g(x), r(x), and so forth.
 For example,
f ( x)  P( X  x)
 The set of ordered pairs (x, f(x)) is a probability function,
probability mass function, or probability distribution of the
discrete random variable X if, for each possible outcome x,
1. f ( x )  0

twice, the random variable X represents
how many times the head turns up. The

A shipment of 20 similar laptop computers to a retail outlet contains
3 that are defective. If a school makes a random purchase of 2 of
these computers, find the probability distribution for the number of
defectives.
Let X be a random variable, whose value x are the possible numbers
of defective computers purchased by the school.

 There are many problems where we may wish to compute the
probability that the observed value of a random variable X will be
less than or equal to some real number x.
 The cumulative distribution F(x) of a discrete random variable X
with probability distribution f(x) is
F ( x)  P( X  x)   f (t ) for    x  

Continuous Probability Distributions
Continuous Probability Distributions
 In case the sample space is continuous, there can be unlimited
number of possible value for the samples.
 Thus, it is more meaningful to deal with an interval rather than a
point value of a random variable.
 For example, it does not make sense to know the probability of
selecting person at random who is exactly 164 cm tall. It will be
more useful to talk about the probability of selecting a person who
is at least 163 cm but not more than 165 cm.
 We shall concern ourselves now with computing probabilities for
various intervals of continuous random variables such as
P(a < X < b), P(W ≥ c), P(U ≤ d) and so forth.
 Note that when X is continuous
P( X  a)  0
 Probability of a point value is zero
P ( a  X  b)  P ( a  X  b)  P ( X  b )  P (a  X  b )

 In dealing with continuous variables, the notation commonly used
is f(x) and it is usually called the probability density function,
or the density function of X.
 For most practical application, the density functions are continuous
and differentiable.
 Their graphs may take any forms, but since it will be used to
represent probabilities, the density function must lie entirely above
the x axis to represent positive probability.

 A probability density function is constructed so that the area under
its curve bounded by the x axis is equal to 1 when computed over
the range of X for which f(x) is defined.
 In the figure below, the probability that X assumes a value
between a and b is equal to the shaded area under the density
function between the ordinates at x = a and x = b.

 If X and Y are two discrete random variables, the probability
distribution for their simultaneous occurrence can be represented
by a function with values f(x, y) for any pair of values (x, y) within
the range of the random variables X and Y.
 Such function is referred to as the joint probability distribution
of X and Y.

joint probability distribution function of the discrete random
variables X and Y if

1. A game is played with the rule that a counter will move forward one, two,
or four places according to whether the scores on the two dice rolled
differ by three or more, by one or two, or are equal.
Here we define a random variable, M, the number of places moved, which
can take the value 1, 2, or 4. Determine the probability distribution of M.

2. Let the random variable X denote the time until a computer server
connects to your notebook (in milliseconds), and let Y denote the time
until the server authorizes you as a valid user (in milliseconds). Each of
these random variables measures the wait from a common starting time.
Assume that the joint probability density function for X and Y is
2 106 e0.001x 0.002 y , x  0, y  0
f ( x, y )  

0,
(a) Show that X and Y are independent.
(b) Determine P(X > 1000, Y < 1000).
