Continuous Random Variables

• Infinitely many outcomes in a probability experiment

Example: select a real number at random between 0 to 9We also discuss several other topics like What are the different types of financial statements?

        S = [0,9] is a continuous random variableIf you want to learn more check out What was California Channel Islands used for?

Area of rectangle = b x h

        1 = 9xh

        1/9 = h

Q: P (x>8) =

P(x>8)

= (1) x (1/9)

= 1/9

Q: P(x>8) = ?

        P(x>8)

        = (1) x 1/9

        = 1/9

Example: suppose exam 1 has a normal distribution with mean = M  = 74 and standard deviation = 0 = 11

Q: What is the probability of a randomly selected student with a grade above 80?

• P(x>80) = ?

• Probability

1. P(A) = probability of event A

0<P(A)<1 → P(A) = 0 means impossible

                P(A) = 1 means certain

1. P(s) = 1
2. Complement rule

Definition: A0 = complement of event A

                = outcomes in S that are not in A

                = not A

Remember

P(A) + P(Ac) = 1 ← this is one that will be used in class

Equivalent equations

P(A) = 1 -P(AC)

P(AC) = 1 - P(A)

Example:

1. A = {boy} → AC = {not not} = {girl}
2. B = {even} → BC = {odd}
3. C = {x>4} → CC = {X<4}
4. D = {x<5} → DC = {X>5}
5. E = {x=9} = EC = {x9}

Addition Rule

If A, B, are disjoint (mutually exclusive) events, then

P(A or B) = P(A) + P (B)

Definition:

A,B are disjoint events if they have no common outcome

Example:

1. A = {boy}, B = {girl} → disjoint
2. A = {green}, B = {yellow} → disjoint
3. A = {student}, B = {workers} = not disjoint
4. A = {odd}, B {x>4} → not disjoint
5. A = {x<4}, B = {x>3} → not disjoint
6. A = {grade A}, B = {pass} = not disjoint
7. A = {x<4}, B = {x<3} = not disjoint
8. A = {x<3}, B = {x>10} = disjoint

Rule number 5

Multiplication Rule

If A,B are independent events, then

P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B)

Definition:

A,B are independent events if the outcomes of one event will not change the probability of the other event

Example:

Pencil box: 8 green, 9 blue, 3 red

• Will pick 2 pencils randomly

Q: P(1rst selection is green) = 8/20

Q: P(2nd selection is green) = ?

→ 2nd selection: Possible Outcomes

A: if you replace the first selection, then P(2nd selection is green) = 8/20

First selection and 2nd selection are independent events

B: if you don’t replace the first selection, then 2nd selection will be dependent on the outcome of the 1rst selection

• If first selection is green, then the P(2nd selection is green) = 7/19
• If the first selection is not green then P(2nd selection is green) = 8/19

1rst selection and second selection are not independent events (dependent events)

Example:

Suppose a probability model:

Outcome =         green                 blue                red                yellow

Probability           0.40                0.15                0.18                0.27
