Continuous Random Variable
We say that a random variable X is continuous if P(X=x)=0 for every x
Continuous Uniform Distribution
The random variable U is said to have a (continuous) uniform distribution on the unit interval [0,1] denoted by U unif [0,1] iff P(Uu)=u0u1.
Probability of an Interval in the Uniform Distribution
P(aXb)=ba
Density Function
Let f: be a function, then we say that f is a density function if f(x)0 for any x and f(x)dx=1
Absolutely Continuous Random Variable
A random varaible X is said to be absolutely continuousif there is a density function f such that P(aXb)=abf(x)dx whenever ab
A Random Variable has a Density Function
We say that a random variable X has a density function f if it is absolutely continuous using this density function.
Probability of a Point is Zero for an Absolutely Continuous Random Variable
Suppose that X is an absolutely continuous random variable then P(X=a)=0 for any a
Exponential 1 Distribution
Suppose that Z is a random varaible, then we write Zexp(1) iff Z=ln(U) where Uunif[0,1]
Probability of an Interval in the Exponential Distribution
Suppose that Zexp(1), then P(sZt)=eset
Observe that the following sets are equal: sZtamp;=sln(U)tamp;=tln(U)samp;=etUes therefore we know that P(sZt)=P(etUes)=eset
