Continuous Random Variables
In many situations, we come across random variables that take all values lying in a certain interval of the x-axis.
(a) The life length X of a bulb is a continuous random variable that can take all non-negative real values.
Examples
![Page 3: Chapter 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061113/545be2cab1af9f7e0d8b4683/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

(b) The time between two consecutive arrivals in a queuing system is a random variable that can take all non-negative real values.
(c) The distance R of the point (where a dart hits) (from the centre) is a continuous random variable that can take all values in the interval (0,a) where a is the radius of the board.
![Page 4: Chapter 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061113/545be2cab1af9f7e0d8b4683/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

It is clear that in all such cases, the probability that the random variable takes any one particular value is meaningless (and is zero). We only ask for the probability that the random variable takes values in an interval. For example, when you buy a bulb, you ask the question? What are the chances that it will work for at least 500 hours? (That is we want the probability that the life length X is 500.)

Definition
(Continuous Random Variable)
X is called a continuous random variable if its range is an interval (or intervals) of real numbers and the probability that it assumes any one specific value is zero.
![Page 6: Chapter 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061113/545be2cab1af9f7e0d8b4683/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

If X is a continuous random variable, the questions about the probability that X takes values in an interval (a, b) are answered by defining a probability density function.

A real function f (x) is called the probability density function of X if
for any two real numbers a, b
DefinitionLet X be a continuous random variable.

Condition (a) is needed as probability is always 0.
Condition (b) says that the probability of the certain event is 1.
Condition (c) says to get the probability that X takes a value between a and b, integrate the probability density function f (x) between a and b.

Thus in words, the probability that X takes values in the interval [ x, x + x ] is approximately f (x) times the length of the interval, assuming that it is a small interval.
This is proved using Mean value theorem (of Integral Calculus).

Moment Generating Function
Let X be a continuous r.v. with density f (x).We define its mgf as
XX ( ) et txM t E e f x dx
Note that the mgf exists (=is defined) only for those t for which the RHS infinite integral converges.
![Page 27: Chapter 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061113/545be2cab1af9f7e0d8b4683/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Properties of MGF
1. For any r.v. X, MX(0) = 1.
2. If X is a r.v. with mgf MX(t) and if Y = aX+b, then the mgf of Y is given by MY(t) = ebt MX(at)
3. If X and Y are independent random variables, then
MX+Y(t) = MX(t) MY(t)

Some simple applications

Let X and Y be independent random variables each having Poisson distribution with parameters and respectively.
Hence mgf of X is MX(t) = ( 1)tee
Hence mgf of Y is MY(t) = ( 1)tee
Hence mgf of X+Y is ( )( 1)tee

Apr 8, 2023Apr 8, 2023 Dr. B. Mishra (Prob & Stat)Dr. B. Mishra (Prob & Stat) 3030
Hence we can say that sum of two independent Poisson random variables is also a Poisson random variable.
The parameter of the sum, X + Y, is the sum of the parameters of X and Y.

If a pair of coils were placed around a homing pigeon and a magnetic field was applied that reverses the earth’s field, it is thought that the bird would become disoriented. Under these circumstances it is just as likely to fly in one direction as in any other. Let denote the direction in radians of the bird’s initial flight. is uniformly distributed over the interval [0, 2π].

A random variable having normal distribution with mean = 0 and s.d. = 1 is said to have a standard normal distribution and usually is denoted by the symbol Z.
Standard Normal Distribution

Let Z have standard normal distribution. Then its cdf,

zte dt
cdf of the standard normal distribution
is tabulated for various values of z in Table V.
F(z) = P(Z z)
![Page 106: Chapter 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061113/545be2cab1af9f7e0d8b4683/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Apr 8, 2023Apr 8, 2023 Dr. B. Mishra (Prob & Stat)Dr. B. Mishra (Prob & Stat) 106106
For example, F(1.96) = P( Z 1.96) = 0.9750
F(2.33) =
0.01
Can you relate F(z) and F(-z) ?
Answer: F(-z) = 1 – F(z).
Also P ( a Z b) = F(b) – F(a)
0.95
0.025
0.99 F(1.645) =
F(-1.96) = F(-2.33) =
Reason: By symmetry of the standard normal curve.
![Page 107: Chapter 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061113/545be2cab1af9f7e0d8b4683/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
Apr 8, 2023Apr 8, 2023 Dr. B. Mishra (Prob & Stat)Dr. B. Mishra (Prob & Stat) 107107
Thus all probability questions about Z can be answered using F (z).
Now we ask:
What is that z for which F(z) = a given value?
For example find z such that F(z) = 0.8438.
Answer: z = 1.1
In particularP ( - a Z a) = F(a) – F(-a) = 2F(a) –1
![Page 108: Chapter 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061113/545be2cab1af9f7e0d8b4683/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Apr 8, 2023Apr 8, 2023 Dr. B. Mishra (Prob & Stat)Dr. B. Mishra (Prob & Stat) 108108
Notation: Given , we denote by z that unique z such that P( Z > z ) = . (That is for which P( Z z ) = 1- .)
Thus
It is important to note that z1- = - z
We can now relate the probabilities that a normal random variable X will have in terms of F(z).
z0.05 = 1.645,
z0.01 = 2.33, z0.95 = - 1.645
![Page 109: Chapter 4](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061113/545be2cab1af9f7e0d8b4683/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)

We note that if X is a random variable having a normal distribution with mean and s.d. , then the random variable
has a standard normal distribution.
