Independent random variables. Operations on random variables

Two random variables $X$ and $Y$ are called independent if the distribution law of one random variable does not change depending on what possible values ​​the other random variable takes. That is, for any $x$ and $y$ the events $X=x$ and $Y=y$ are independent. Since the events $X=x$ and $Y=y$ are independent, then by the theorem of the product of probabilities of independent events $P\left(\left(X=x\right)\left(Y=y\right)\right)=P \left(X=x\right)P\left(Y=y\right)$.

Example 1 . Let the random variable $X$ express the cash winnings from tickets of one lottery “Russian Lotto”, and the random variable $Y$ express the cash winnings from tickets of another lottery “Golden Key”. It is obvious that the random variables $X,\Y$ will be independent, since the winnings from tickets of one lottery do not depend on the law of distribution of winnings from tickets of another lottery. In the case where the random variables $X,\Y$ would express the winnings of the same lottery, then, obviously, these random variables would be dependent.

Example 2 . Two workers work in different workshops and produce various products that are unrelated to each other by manufacturing technologies and the raw materials used. The distribution law for the number of defective products manufactured by the first worker per shift has the following form:

$\begin(array)(|c|c|)
\hline
Number of \ defective \ products \ x & 0 & 1 \\
\hline
Probability & 0.8 & 0.2 \\
\hline
\end(array)$

The number of defective products produced by the second worker per shift obeys the following distribution law.

$\begin(array)(|c|c|)
\hline
Number of \ defective \ products \ y & 0 & 1 \\
\hline
Probability & 0.7 & 0.3 \\
\hline
\end(array)$

Let us find the distribution law for the number of defective products produced by two workers per shift.

Let the random variable $X$ be the number of defective products produced by the first worker per shift, and $Y$ the number of defective products produced by the second worker per shift. By condition, the random variables $X,\Y$ are independent.

The number of defective products produced by two workers per shift is a random variable $X+Y$. Its possible values ​​are $0,\ 1$ and $2$. Let us find the probabilities with which the random variable $X+Y$ takes its values.

$P\left(X+Y=0\right)=P\left(X=0,\ Y=0\right)=P\left(X=0\right)P\left(Y=0\right) =0.8\cdot 0.7=0.56.$

$P\left(X+Y=1\right)=P\left(X=0,\ Y=1\ or\ X=1,\ Y=0\right)=P\left(X=0\right )P\left(Y=1\right)+P\left(X=1\right)P\left(Y=0\right)=0.8\cdot 0.3+0.2\cdot 0.7 =0.38.$

$P\left(X+Y=2\right)=P\left(X=1,\ Y=1\right)=P\left(X=1\right)P\left(Y=1\right) =0.2\cdot 0.3=0.06.$

Then the law of distribution of the number of defective products manufactured by two workers per shift:

$\begin(array)(|c|c|)
\hline
Number of \ defective \ products & 0 & 1 & 2 \\
\hline
Probability & 0.56 & 0.38 & 0.06\\
\hline
\end(array)$

In the previous example, we performed an operation on random variables $X,\Y$, namely, we found their sum $X+Y$. Let us now give a more rigorous definition of operations (addition, difference, multiplication) over random variables and give examples of solutions.

Definition 1. The product $kX$ of a random variable $X$ by a constant variable $k$ is a random variable that takes values ​​$kx_i$ with the same probabilities $p_i$ $\left(i=1,\ 2,\ \dots ,\ n\ right)$.

Definition 2. The sum (difference or product) of random variables $X$ and $Y$ is a random variable that takes all possible values ​​of the form $x_i+y_j$ ($x_i-y_i$ or $x_i\cdot y_i$), where $i=1 ,\ 2,\dots ,\ n$, with probabilities $p_(ij)$ that the random variable $X$ will take the value $x_i$, and $Y$ the value $y_j$:

$$p_(ij)=P\left[\left(X=x_i\right)\left(Y=y_j\right)\right].$$

Since the random variables $X,\Y$ are independent, then according to the probability multiplication theorem for independent events: $p_(ij)=P\left(X=x_i\right)\cdot P\left(Y=y_j\right)= p_i\cdot p_j$.

Example 3 . Independent random variables $X,\ Y$ are specified by their probability distribution laws.

$\begin(array)(|c|c|)
\hline
x_i & -8 & 2 & 3 \\
\hline
p_i & 0.4 & 0.1 & 0.5 \\
\hline
\end(array)$

$\begin(array)(|c|c|)
\hline
y_i & 2 & 8 \\
\hline
p_i & 0.3 & 0.7 \\
\hline
\end(array)$

Let's formulate the law of distribution of the random variable $Z=2X+Y$. The sum of random variables $X$ and $Y$, that is, $X+Y$, is a random variable that takes all possible values ​​of the form $x_i+y_j$, where $i=1,\ 2,\dots ,\ n$ , with probabilities $p_(ij)$ that the random variable $X$ will take the value $x_i$, and $Y$ the value $y_j$: $p_(ij)=P\left[\left(X=x_i\right )\left(Y=y_j\right)\right]$. Since the random variables $X,\Y$ are independent, then according to the probability multiplication theorem for independent events: $p_(ij)=P\left(X=x_i\right)\cdot P\left(Y=y_j\right)= p_i\cdot p_j$.

So, it has distribution laws for the random variables $2X$ and $Y$, respectively.

$\begin(array)(|c|c|)
\hline
x_i & -16 & 4 & 6 \\
\hline
p_i & 0.4 & 0.1 & 0.5 \\
\hline
\end(array)$

$\begin(array)(|c|c|)
\hline
y_i & 2 & 8 \\
\hline
p_i & 0.3 & 0.7 \\
\hline
\end(array)$

For the convenience of finding all values ​​of the sum $Z=2X+Y$ and their probabilities, we will compose an auxiliary table, in each cell of which we will place in the left corner the values ​​of the sum $Z=2X+Y$, and in the right corner - the probabilities of these values ​​obtained as a result multiplying the probabilities of the corresponding values ​​of random variables $2X$ and $Y$.

As a result, we obtain the distribution $Z=2X+Y$:

$\begin(array)(|c|c|)
\hline
z_i & -14 & -8 & 6 & 12 & 10 & 16 \\
\hline
p_i & 0.12 & 0.28 & 0.03 & 0.07 & 0.15 & 0.35 \\
\hline
\end(array)$

The law of distribution of the minimum (maximum) of two random variables. Law of distribution of order statistics

In this section we will consider first of all such a functional transformation c. c., which consists in choosing the maximum (minimum) of two values.

Problem 1. The law of distribution of the minimum of two random variables. A continuous system is given. V. (X and X 2) with p.r./(*!, x 2). Find the distribution function of r.v. Y:

Solution. Let us first find P ( Y> y) = P (Xi > y; X 2 > y). Region D(y), where X> y and X 2 > y shown in Fig. 9.6.1. Probability of hitting a point (X[, X 2) to the region D(y) is equal


Where F (x b x 2) - system distribution function c. V. (Хь Х 2), F x(jq), F 2 (x 2) - distribution functions c. V. X And X 2 respectively. Hence,

To determine p.r. g (y) you need to find the derivative of the right side (9.6.1):


If s. V. X x, X 2 independent and distributed identically with p.r. Fi(X) =/ 2 (x) =f(x), That

Example 1. We consider the operation of a device consisting of two blocks Bi and B 2, the joint operation of which is absolutely necessary for the operation of the device. Block B operating times! and B 2 represent independent s. V. X And X 2, distributed according to exponential laws with parameters X And X 2. It is required to find the distribution law c. V. U- operating time of the technical unit.

Solution. It's obvious that

Using formulas (9.6.4) we find:

i.e. at least two independent random variables, distributed according to exponential laws with parameters X x and X 2, also distributed according to exponential laws with parameter X x + X 2. ?

Problem 2. Law of distribution of the minimum of n independent random variables. Given the system n independent villages V. (X x, X 2, ..., X p) with p.r. .f (x x),f 2 (x 2), ...,f n (x n). Find f. r. and density c. V. Y= min (X X,.... X p).

Solution. By definition


Example 2. We consider the operation of an automated system (AS), consisting of n subsystems For the speakers to work, everyone needs to work n subsystems; uptime of the /th subsystem 7} distributed according to the exponential law with the parameter (/ = 1, 2, p) and does not depend on the operating time of other subsystems. Determine the law of time distribution D i) of failure-free operation of the AS.

Solution. It's obvious that

Using formula (9.6.6) we find the r.v. distribution function. D l)


Thus, the distribution law c. V. - the minimum of n independent villages c., distributed according to exponential laws, is also exponential; while its parameter i)S n)) is equal to the sum of the parameters of these exponential distributions. It follows from this that


It can be shown that the distribution law c. V. D i) when large enough n will converge to the exponential law, even if s. V. 7) (/= 1, 2, ..., p) are not distributed according to exponential laws. Let us demonstrate this using the example of equally uniformly distributed s. V.:


In this case


and this is f. r. demonstrative law.

Thus, we can draw a conclusion that is widely used in engineering applications: if any device consists of a sufficiently large number of elements n, the operation of which is absolutely necessary for the operation of the device, then the law of time distribution F p) of failure-free operation of the device is close to exponential with the parameter, determined by the formula

where M[ Tj- average failure-free operation time of the i-th element.

The failure flow of such a device will be close to Poisson with the parameter )S n ?

Problem 3. The law of distribution of the maximum of two random variables. A continuous system is given. V. (Хь X 2) with density/(lbs x 2). It is required to find the r.v. distribution law.

Solution. By definition,

Where F(x x, x 2) - system distribution function (X and X 2).

Differentiating this expression as we did before, we get:

If random variables X and X2 are equally distributed, then

If random variables X 2 are independent, then

If random variables X 2 independent and equally distributed, then

Example 3. The operation of a technical device cannot begin before the assembly of its two blocks Bi and B2 is completed. The assembly time of blocks Bi and B 2 is a system of independent s. V. X x And X 2, distributed according to exponential laws with parameters X x And X 2. Y- time of completion of assembly of both technical specification blocks.

Solution. It's obvious that Y= max (X ъ X 2). Distribution density c. V. ^is determined by formula (9.6.12)

This law is not indicative. ?

Problem 4. The law of distribution of the maximum of n independent random variables. A continuous system is given. V. (X x, X 2 , ..., X p) with density f(x x, x 2,

Find the distribution law of a random variable

Solution. By definition

Where F(x 1, X 2 ,..., x p) - system distribution function (X x, X 2, ..., X p). By differentiating, we find the distribution density:

Where Fj (Xj) - f. r. With. V. Xjfj(xj) - its density.

If s. V. x b ..., X p independent and equally distributed (Fi(y) = F(y);f (y) =f(y) (/"= 1,n)), That

If random variables X and ..., X p are independent, then

Example 4. The work of technical equipment cannot begin before the assembly of all n its blocks: B b Bg, ..., B„. The assembly times of blocks B b..., B l represent a system n independent villages V. (Huh..., X p), distributed according to exponential laws with parameters A.1,..., A, p.

We need to find the density c. V. U- completion time for all assembly n TU blocks.

Solution. Obviously y = max (X,..., X p). According to formula (9.6.16) we have

Problem 5. Law of distribution of order statistics. Let us consider a continuous system of identically distributed, independent s. V. (X v X 2, ..., X p) with f. r. F(x) and p.r./(x). Let us arrange the values ​​assumed by the random variables X v X 2, ..., X p, in ascending order and denote:

X (1) is a random variable that takes the smallest of values: (X (1) = min (X v X 2, ..., X p));

X(2) - second largest accepted value of the random variables X v X 2, ..., X p;

X(T) - y-i by the magnitude of the accepted value from random variables X x, X 2, ..., X p;

X(P) - the largest random variable according to the accepted value X, X 2, x„ (X (n) = Shah (X and X 2, ..., X p)).

Obviously,

Random variables X(i), X@),..., X(") are called ordinal statistics.

Formulas (9.6.8) and (9.6.17) give the laws of distribution of extreme terms X(i), And X(") systems (*).

Let's find the distribution function F^m)(x)s. V. X^t y Event (X^x) is that T With. V. from the system n With. V. (X ( , X 2 ,..., X n) will be less than x and (p - t) With. V. will be greater than x. Since s. V. Xt (/" = 1, 2,..., p) are independent and identically distributed, then P (X t x) = F(x) R (Xj > x) = 1 - F(x). We need to find the probability that n independent experiments event (Xj x) will appear exactly T once. Applying the binomial distribution, we get

Purpose of the service. Using the online service mathematical expectation, variance and standard deviation are calculated(see example). In addition, a graph of the distribution function F(X) is plotted.

Properties of the mathematical expectation of a random variable

  1. The mathematical expectation of a constant value is equal to itself: M[C]=C, C – constant;
  2. M=C M[X]
  3. The mathematical expectation of the sum of random variables is equal to the sum of their mathematical expectations: M=M[X]+M[Y]
  4. The mathematical expectation of the product of independent random variables is equal to the product of their mathematical expectations: M=M[X] M[Y] , if X and Y are independent.

Dispersion properties

  1. The variance of a constant value is zero: D(c)=0.
  2. The constant factor can be taken out from under the dispersion sign by squaring it: D(k*X)= k 2 D(X).
  3. If the random variables X and Y are independent, then the variance of the sum is equal to the sum of the variances: D(X+Y)=D(X)+D(Y).
  4. If random variables X and Y are dependent: D(X+Y)=DX+DY+2(X-M[X])(Y-M[Y])
  5. The following computational formula is valid for dispersion:
    D(X)=M(X 2)-(M(X)) 2

Example. The mathematical expectations and variances of two independent random variables X and Y are known: M(x)=8, M(Y)=7, D(X)=9, D(Y)=6. Find the mathematical expectation and variance of the random variable Z=9X-8Y+7.
Solution. Based on the properties of mathematical expectation: M(Z) = M(9X-8Y+7) = 9*M(X) - 8*M(Y) + M(7) = 9*8 - 8*7 + 7 = 23 .
Based on the properties of dispersion: D(Z) = D(9X-8Y+7) = D(9X) - D(8Y) + D(7) = 9^2D(X) - 8^2D(Y) + 0 = 81*9 – 64*6 = 345

Convolution formula. Stability of normal distribution.

o If each pair of possible values ​​of the random variables X and Y corresponds to one possible value of the random variable Z, then Z is called function of two random arguments X and Y:

.

Further examples will show how to find the distribution of the function according to known distributions of terms. This problem often occurs in practice. For example, if the X-error of the readings of a measuring device is uniformly distributed, then the task arises to find the law of distribution of the sum of errors .

3. RANDOM VARIABLES. THE CONCEPT OF A RANDOM VARIABLE

Random variable A quantity is called which, as a result of tests carried out under the same conditions, takes on different, generally speaking, values ​​depending on random factors not taken into account. Examples of random variables: the number of points rolled on a dice, the number of defective products in a batch, the deviation of the point of impact of a projectile from the target, the uptime of a device, etc. There are discrete and continuous random variables. Discrete A random variable is called, the possible values ​​of which form a countable set, finite or infinite (that is, a set whose elements can be numbered).

Continuous A random variable is called, the possible values ​​of which continuously fill some finite or infinite interval of the number line. The number of values ​​of a continuous random variable is always infinite.

We will denote random variables with capital letters from the end of the Latin alphabet: X, Y, . ; random variable values ​​– in lowercase letters: X, y,. . Thus, X Denotes the entire set of possible values ​​of a random variable, and X - Some of its specific meaning.

Law of distribution A discrete random variable is a correspondence specified in any form between the possible values ​​of a random variable and their probabilities.

Let the possible values ​​of the random variable X Are . As a result of the test, the random variable will take one of these values, i.e. One event from a complete group of pairwise incompatible events will occur.

Let the probabilities of these events also be known:

It is necessary to find out which of the two shooters shoots better.

Considering the distribution series of random variables X And Y, answering this question is far from easy due to the abundance of numerical values. In addition, the first shooter has quite high probabilities (for example, more than 0.1) with extreme values ​​​​of the number of points scored ( X= 0; 1 and X= 9; 10), and the second shooter has intermediate values ​​( Y = 4; 5; 6).

Obviously, of two shooters, the better shooter is the one who scores more points on average.

Problem 10. The bank issued loans n to different borrowers in the amount S r. each at a loan interest rate r. Find a) the mathematical expectation and dispersion of the bank’s profit, as well as the condition for the interest rate, if the probability of repayment of the loan by the borrower is equal to p; b) mathematical expectation and standard deviation of profit at n =1000, p =0,8, S= 100 thousand rubles And r = 30%.

Solution. a) Since the borrowers are not related to each other, we can assume that we have n independent tests. The probability of losing a loan for the bank in each trial is q = = 1 – p. Let X– the number of borrowers who repaid the loan with interest, then the bank’s profit is determined by the formula

Where X is a random variable with a binomial distribution law.

Since issuing a loan makes sense only with a positive mathematical expectation of profit (positive average profit), then from the condition M( P) > 0, the condition for the interest rate follows:

b) The loan interest rate satisfies the condition that the mathematical expectation of profit is positive: 30 >100(1 – 0.8)/0.8. Mathematical expectation of profit:

100 ∙ 1000(30 ∙ 0.8/100 – 0.2) = 4 million rubles.
