Chapter 1. Discrete random variable

§ 1. Concepts of a random variable.

Distribution law of a discrete random variable.

Definition : Random is a quantity that, as a result of testing, takes only one value out of a possible set of its values, unknown in advance and depending on random reasons.

There are two types of random variables: discrete and continuous.

Definition : The random variable X is called discrete (discontinuous) if the set of its values ​​is finite or infinite but countable.

In other words, the possible values ​​of a discrete random variable can be renumbered.

A random variable can be described using its distribution law.

Definition : Distribution law of a discrete random variable call the correspondence between possible values ​​of a random variable and their probabilities.

The distribution law of a discrete random variable X can be specified in the form of a table, in the first row of which all possible values ​​of the random variable are indicated in ascending order, and in the second row the corresponding probabilities of these values, i.e.

where р1+ р2+…+ рn=1

Such a table is called a distribution series of a discrete random variable.

If the set of possible values ​​of a random variable is infinite, then the series p1+ p2+…+ pn+… converges and its sum is equal to 1.

The distribution law of a discrete random variable X can be depicted graphically, for which a broken line is constructed in a rectangular coordinate system, connecting sequentially points with coordinates (xi; pi), i=1,2,…n. The resulting line is called distribution polygon (Fig. 1).

Organic chemistry" href="/text/category/organicheskaya_hiimya/" rel="bookmark">organic chemistry are 0.7 and 0.8, respectively. Draw up a distribution law for the random variable X - the number of exams that the student will pass.

Solution. The considered random variable X as a result of the exam can take one of the following values: x1=0, x2=1, x3=2.

Let's find the probability of these values. Let's denote the events:

https://pandia.ru/text/78/455/images/image004_81.jpg" width="259" height="66 src=">


So, the distribution law of the random variable X is given by the table:

Control: 0.6+0.38+0.56=1.

§ 2. Distribution function

A complete description of a random variable is also given by the distribution function.

Definition: Distribution function of a discrete random variable X is called a function F(x), which determines for each value x the probability that the random variable X will take a value less than x:

F(x)=P(X<х)

Geometrically, the distribution function is interpreted as the probability that the random variable X will take the value that is represented on the number line by a point lying to the left of point x.

1)0≤ F(x) ≤1;

2) F(x) is a non-decreasing function on (-∞;+∞);

3) F(x) - continuous on the left at points x= xi (i=1,2,...n) and continuous at all other points;

4) F(-∞)=P (X<-∞)=0 как вероятность невозможного события Х<-∞,

F(+∞)=P(X<+∞)=1 как вероятность достоверного события Х<-∞.

If the distribution law of a discrete random variable X is given in the form of a table:

then the distribution function F(x) is determined by the formula:

https://pandia.ru/text/78/455/images/image007_76.gif" height="110">

0 for x≤ x1,

р1 at x1< х≤ x2,

F(x)= р1 + р2 at x2< х≤ х3

1 for x> xn.

Its graph is shown in Fig. 2:

§ 3. Numerical characteristics of a discrete random variable.

One of the important numerical characteristics is the mathematical expectation.

Definition: Mathematical expectation M(X) discrete random variable X is the sum of the products of all its values ​​and their corresponding probabilities:

M(X) = ∑ xiрi= x1р1 + x2р2+…+ xnрn

The mathematical expectation serves as a characteristic of the average value of a random variable.

Properties of mathematical expectation:

1)M(C)=C, where C is a constant value;

2)M(C X)=C M(X),

3)M(X±Y)=M(X) ±M(Y);

4)M(X Y)=M(X) M(Y), where X, Y are independent random variables;

5)M(X±C)=M(X)±C, where C is a constant value;

To characterize the degree of dispersion of possible values ​​of a discrete random variable around its mean value, dispersion is used.

Definition: Variance D ( X ) random variable X is the mathematical expectation of the squared deviation of the random variable from its mathematical expectation:

Dispersion properties:

1)D(C)=0, where C is a constant value;

2)D(X)>0, where X is a random variable;

3)D(C X)=C2 D(X), where C is a constant value;

4)D(X+Y)=D(X)+D(Y), where X, Y are independent random variables;

To calculate variance it is often convenient to use the formula:

D(X)=M(X2)-(M(X))2,

where M(X)=∑ xi2рi= x12р1 + x22р2+…+ xn2рn

The variance D(X) has the dimension of a squared random variable, which is not always convenient. Therefore, the value √D(X) is also used as an indicator of the dispersion of possible values ​​of a random variable.

Definition: Standard deviation σ(X) random variable X is called the square root of the variance:

Task No. 2. The discrete random variable X is specified by the distribution law:

Find P2, the distribution function F(x) and plot its graph, as well as M(X), D(X), σ(X).

Solution: Since the sum of the probabilities of possible values ​​of the random variable X is equal to 1, then

Р2=1- (0.1+0.3+0.2+0.3)=0.1

Let's find the distribution function F(x)=P(X

Geometrically, this equality can be interpreted as follows: F(x) is the probability that the random variable will take the value that is represented on the number axis by the point lying to the left of the point x.

If x≤-1, then F(x)=0, since there is not a single value of this random variable on (-∞;x);

If -1<х≤0, то F(х)=Р(Х=-1)=0,1, т. к. в промежуток (-∞;х) попадает только одно значение x1=-1;

If 0<х≤1, то F(х)=Р(Х=-1)+ Р(Х=0)=0,1+0,1=0,2, т. к. в промежуток

(-∞;x) there are two values ​​x1=-1 and x2=0;

If 1<х≤2, то F(х)=Р(Х=-1) + Р(Х=0)+ Р(Х=1)= 0,1+0,1+0,3=0,5, т. к. в промежуток (-∞;х) попадают три значения x1=-1, x2=0 и x3=1;

If 2<х≤3, то F(х)=Р(Х=-1) + Р(Х=0)+ Р(Х=1)+ Р(Х=2)= 0,1+0,1+0,3+0,2=0,7, т. к. в промежуток (-∞;х) попадают четыре значения x1=-1, x2=0,x3=1 и х4=2;

If x>3, then F(x)=P(X=-1) + P(X=0)+ P(X=1)+ P(X=2)+P(X=3)= 0.1 +0.1+0.3+0.2+0.3=1, because four values ​​x1=-1, x2=0, x3=1, x4=2 fall into the interval (-∞;x) and x5=3.

§ 4. Binomial distribution law

discrete random variable, Poisson's law.

Definition: Binomial is called the law of distribution of a discrete random variable X - the number of occurrences of event A in n independent repeated trials, in each of which event A may occur with probability p or not occur with probability q = 1-p. Then P(X=m) - the probability of occurrence of event A exactly m times in n trials is calculated using the Bernoulli formula:

Р(Х=m)=Сmnpmqn-m

The mathematical expectation, dispersion and standard deviation of a random variable X distributed according to a binary law are found, respectively, using the formulas:

https://pandia.ru/text/78/455/images/image016_31.gif" width="26"> The probability of event A - “rolling out a five” in each trial is the same and equal to 1/6, i.e. . P(A)=p=1/6, then P(A)=1-p=q=5/6, where

- “failure to get an A.”

The random variable X can take the following values: 0;1;2;3.

We find the probability of each of the possible values ​​of X using Bernoulli’s formula:

Р(Х=0)=Р3(0)=С03р0q3=1 (1/6)0 (5/6)3=125/216;

Р(Х=1)=Р3(1)=С13р1q2=3 (1/6)1 (5/6)2=75/216;

Р(Х=2)=Р3(2)=С23р2q =3 (1/6)2 (5/6)1=15/216;

Р(Х=3)=Р3(3)=С33р3q0=1 (1/6)3 (5/6)0=1/216.

That. the distribution law of the random variable X has the form:

Control: 125/216+75/216+15/216+1/216=1.

Let's find the numerical characteristics of the random variable X:

M(X)=np=3 (1/6)=1/2,

D(X)=npq=3 (1/6) (5/6)=5/12,

Task No. 4. An automatic machine stamps parts. The probability that a manufactured part will be defective is 0.002. Find the probability that among 1000 selected parts there will be:

a) 5 defective;

b) at least one is defective.

Solution: The number n=1000 is large, the probability of producing a defective part p=0.002 is small, and the events under consideration (the part turns out to be defective) are independent, therefore the Poisson formula holds:

Рn(m)= e- λ λm

Let's find λ=np=1000 0.002=2.

a) Find the probability that there will be 5 defective parts (m=5):

Р1000(5)= e-2 25 = 32 0,13534 = 0,0361

b) Find the probability that there will be at least one defective part.

Event A - “at least one of the selected parts is defective” is the opposite of the event - “all selected parts are not defective.” Therefore, P(A) = 1-P(). Hence the desired probability is equal to: P(A)=1-P1000(0)=1- e-2 20 = 1- e-2=1-0.13534≈0.865.

Chapter 2. Continuous random variable

Definition: Continuous is a quantity whose all possible values ​​completely fill a finite or infinite span of the number line.

Obviously, the number of possible values ​​of a continuous random variable is infinite.

A continuous random variable can be specified using a distribution function.

Definition: F distribution function a continuous random variable X is called a function F(x), which determines for each value xhttps://pandia.ru/text/78/455/images/image028_11.jpg" width="14" height="13">R

The distribution function is sometimes called the cumulative distribution function.

Properties of the distribution function:

1)1≤ F(x) ≤1

2) For a continuous random variable, the distribution function is continuous at any point and differentiable everywhere, except, perhaps, at individual points.

3) The probability of a random variable X falling into one of the intervals (a;b), [a;b], [a;b], is equal to the difference between the values ​​of the function F(x) at points a and b, i.e. R(a)<Х

4) The probability that a continuous random variable X will take one separate value is 0.

5) F(-∞)=0, F(+∞)=1

Specifying a continuous random variable using a distribution function is not the only way. Let us introduce the concept of probability distribution density (distribution density).

Definition : Probability distribution density f ( x ) of a continuous random variable X is the derivative of its distribution function, i.e.:

The probability density function is sometimes called the differential distribution function or differential distribution law.

The graph of the probability density distribution f(x) is called probability distribution curve .

where m=M(X), σ2=D(X), σ>0.

The normal distribution curve is called normal or Gaussian curve (Fig.7)

The normal curve is symmetrical with respect to the straight line x=m, has a maximum at x=a, equal to .

The distribution function of a random variable X, distributed according to the normal law, is expressed through the Laplace function Ф (x) according to the formula:

,

where is the Laplace function.

Comment: The function Ф(x) is odd (Ф(-х)=-Ф(х)), in addition, for x>5 we can assume Ф(х) ≈1/2.

4. Probability density of a continuous random variable

A continuous random variable can be specified using the distribution function F(x) . This method of assignment is not the only one. A continuous random variable can also be specified using another function called the distribution density or probability density (sometimes called a differential function).

Definition4.1: Distribution density of a continuous random variable X call the function f (x) - the first derivative of the distribution function F(x) :

f ( x ) = F "( x ) .

From this definition it follows that the distribution function is an antiderivative of the distribution density. Note that the distribution density is not applicable to describe the probability distribution of a discrete random variable.

Probability of a continuous random variable falling into a given interval

Knowing the distribution density, you can calculate the probability that a continuous random variable will take a value belonging to a given interval.

Theorem: The probability that a continuous random variable X will take values ​​belonging to the interval (a, b), is equal to a certain integral of the distribution density, taken in the range fromabeforeb :

Proof: We use the ratio

P(aXb) = F(b) – F(a).

According to the Newton-Leibniz formula,

Thus,

.

Because P(aX b)= P(a X b) , then we finally get

.

Geometrically, the obtained result can be interpreted as follows: the probability that a continuous random variable will take a value belonging to the interval (a, b), equal to the area of ​​a curvilinear trapezoid bounded by the axisOx, distribution curvef(x) and straightx = aAndx = b.

Comment: In particular, if f(x) – the function is even and the ends of the interval are symmetrical relative to the origin, then

Example. The probability density of a random variable is given X

Find the probability that as a result of the test X will take values ​​belonging to the interval (0.5, 1).

Solution: Required probability

.

Finding the distribution function from a known distribution density

Knowing the distribution density f(x) , we can find the distribution function F(x) according to the formula

.

Really, F(x) = P(X x) = P(-∞ X x) .

Hence,

Thus, Knowing the distribution density, you can find the distribution function. Of course, from a known distribution function one can find the distribution density, namely:

f(x) = F"(x).

Example. Find the distribution function for the given distribution density:

Solution: Let's use the formula

If xa, That f(x) = 0 , hence, F(x) = 0 . If a , then f(x) = 1/(b-a),

hence,

.

If x > b, That

.

So, the required distribution function

Comment: We obtained the distribution function of a uniformly distributed random variable (see uniform distribution).

Properties of distribution density

Property 1: Distribution density is a non-negative function:

f ( x ) ≥ 0 .

Property 2: The improper integral of the distribution density in the range from -∞ to ∞ is equal to unity:

Comment: The distribution density graph is called distribution curve.

Comment: The distribution density of a continuous random variable is also called the distribution law.

Example. The distribution density of the random variable has the following form:

Find a constant parameter a.

Solution: The distribution density must satisfy the condition , so we will require that the equality be satisfied

.

From here
. Let's find the indefinite integral:

.

Let's calculate the improper integral:

Thus, the required parameter

Probable meaning of distribution density

Let F(x) – distribution function of a continuous random variable X. By definition of distribution density, f(x) = F"(x) , or

.

Difference F(x+∆x) -F(x) determines the probability that X will take a value belonging to the interval (x, x+∆x). Thus, the limit of the probability ratio that a continuous random variable will take a value belonging to the interval (x, x+∆x), to the length of this interval (at ∆х→0) is equal to the value of the distribution density at the point X.

So the function f(x) determines the probability distribution density for each point X. From differential calculus it is known that the increment of a function is approximately equal to the differential of the function, i.e.

Because F"(x) = f(x) And dx = ∆ x, That F(x+∆ x) - F(x) ≈ f(x)∆ x.

The probabilistic meaning of this equality is: the probability that a random variable will take a value belonging to the interval (x, x+∆ x) is approximately equal to the product of the probability density at point x and the length of the interval ∆x.

Geometrically, this result can be interpreted as follows: the probability that a random variable will take a value belonging to the interval (x, x+∆ x) is approximately equal to the area of ​​a rectangle with base ∆х and heightf(x).

5. Typical distributions of discrete random variables

5.1. Bernoulli distribution

Definition5.1: Random value X, taking two values 1 And 0 with probabilities (“success”) p and (“failure”) q, called Bernoullievskaya:

, Where k=0,1.

5.2. Binomial distribution

Let it be produced n independent trials, in each of which the event A may or may not appear. The probability of an event occurring in all trials is constant and equal p(hence the probability of non-occurrence q = 1 - p).

Consider the random variable X– number of occurrences of the event A in these tests. Random value X takes values 0,1,2,… n with probabilities calculated using the Bernoulli formula: , Where k = 0,1,2,… n.

Definition5.2: Binomial is called the probability distribution determined by Bernoulli's formula.

Example. Three shots are fired at the target, and the probability of hitting each shot is 0.8. Consider a random variable X– number of hits on the target. Find its distribution series.

Solution: Random value X takes values 0,1,2,3 with probabilities calculated using the Bernoulli formula, where n = 3, p = 0,8 (probability of hit), q = 1 - 0,8 = = 0,2 (probability of missing).

Thus, the distribution series has the following form:

Use Bernoulli's formula for large values n quite difficult, therefore, to calculate the corresponding probabilities, use the local Laplace theorem, which allows you to approximately find the probability of the occurrence of an event exactly k once every n tests, if the number of tests is large enough.

Local Laplace theorem: If the probability p occurrence of an event A
that the event A will appear in n tests exactly k times, approximately equal (the more accurate, the more n) function value
, Where
,
.

Note1: Tables containing function values
, are given in Appendix 1, and
. Function is the density of the standard normal distribution (see normal distribution).

Example: Find the probability that the event A will come exactly 80 once every 400 trials if the probability of occurrence of this event in each trial is equal to 0,2.

Solution: By condition n = 400, k = 80, p = 0,2 , q = 0,8 . Let's calculate the value determined by the task data x:
. From the table in Appendix 1 we find
. Then the required probability will be:

If you need to calculate the probability that an event A will appear in n tests no less k 1 once and no more k 2 times, then you need to use Laplace’s integral theorem:

Laplace's integral theorem: If the probability p occurrence of an event A in each trial is constant and different from zero and one, then the probability
that the event A will appear in n tests from k 1 before k 2 times, approximately equal to a certain integral

, Where And
.

In other words, the probability that an event A will appear in n tests from k 1 before k 2 times, approximately equal

Where
,
And .

Note2: Function
called the Laplace function (see normal distribution). Tables containing function values , are given in Appendix 2, and .

Example: Find the probability that among 400 randomly selected parts will turn out to be untested from 70 to 100 parts, if the probability that the part did not pass the quality control inspection is equal to 0,2.

Solution: By condition n = 400, p = 0,2 , q = 0,8, k 1 = 70, k 2 = 100 . Let's calculate the lower and upper limits of integration:

;
.

Thus we have:

From the table in Appendix 2 we find that
And
. Then the required probability is:

Note3: In a series of independent trials (when n is large, p is small), the Poisson formula is used to calculate the probability of an event occurring exactly k times (see Poisson distribution).

5.3. Poisson distribution

Definition5.3: A discrete random variable is called Poisson, if its distribution law has the following form:

, Where And (constant value).

Examples of Poisson random variables:

    Number of calls to an automatic station over a period of time T.

    The number of decay particles of some radioactive substance over a period of time T.

    Number of TVs that arrive at the workshop over a period of time T in the big city .

    Number of cars that will arrive at the stop line of an intersection in a large city .

Note1: Special tables for calculating these probabilities are given in Appendix 3.

Note2: In a series of independent tests (when n great, p is not enough) to calculate the probability of an event occurring exactly k times using Poisson's formula: , Where , that is, the average number of occurrences of events remains constant.

Note3: If there is a random variable that is distributed according to the Poisson law, then there is necessarily a random variable that is distributed according to the exponential law and, vice versa (see Exponential distribution).

Example. The plant sent to the base 5000 good quality products. The probability that the product will be damaged in transit is equal to 0,0002 . Find the probability that exactly three unusable products will arrive at the base.

Solution: By condition n = 5000, p = 0,0002, k = 3. We'll find λ: λ = n.p.= 5000·0.0002 = 1.

According to the Poisson formula, the desired probability is equal to:

, where is the random variable X– number of unusable products.

5.4. Geometric distribution

Let independent tests be carried out, in each of which the probability of the event occurring is A equal to p(0 p

q = 1 - p. Challenges end as soon as the event appears A. Thus, if an event A appeared in k-th test, then in the previous k – 1 it did not appear in tests.

Let us denote by X discrete random variable - the number of trials that need to be carried out before the first occurrence of the event A. Obviously, the possible values X are integers x 1 = 1, x 2 = 2, ...

Let first k-1 testing event A did not come, but in k-th test appeared. The probability of this “complex event”, according to the theorem of multiplication of probabilities of independent events, P (X = k) = q k -1 p.

Definition5.4: A discrete random variable has geometric distribution, if its distribution law has the following form:

P ( X = k ) = q k -1 p , Where .

Note1: Believing k = 1,2,… , we get a geometric progression with the first term p and denominator q (0q. For this reason, the distribution is called geometric.

Note2: Row converges and its sum is equal to one. Indeed, the sum of the series is equal to .

Example. The gun is fired at the target until the first hit is made. Probability of hitting target p = 0,6 . Find the probability that a hit will occur on the third shot.

Solution: By condition p = 0,6, q = 1 – 0,6 = 0,4, k = 3. The required probability is:

P (X = 3) = 0,4 2 ·0.6 = 0.096.

5.5. Hypergeometric distribution

Let's consider the following problem. Let the party out N products available M standard (MN). Randomly taken from the batch n products (each product can be extracted with the same probability), and the selected product is not returned to the batch before selecting the next one (therefore, the Bernoulli formula is not applicable here).

Let us denote by X random variable - number m standard products among n selected. Then the possible values X will be 0, 1, 2,…, min; Let's label them and... By values ​​of the independent variable (Fonds) use the button ( chapter ...
