Function of one random variable. Mathematical expectation of the function of one SV. (tetr)

If each possible value of a random variable X corresponds to one possible value of the random variable Y , then Y called random argument function X: Y=φ (X ).

Let's find out how to find the law of distribution of a function according to the known law of distribution of the argument.

1) Let the argument X is a discrete random variable, and different values X correspond to different values Y . Then the probabilities of the corresponding values X And Y equal .

2) If different values X can match the same values Y , then the probabilities of the values ​​of the argument for which the function takes the same value are added.

3) If X is a continuous random variable, Y=φ (X ), φ (x ) is a monotone and differentiable function, and ψ (at ) is the function inverse to φ (X ).

21. Function of two random arguments. Distribution of function Z=X+Y for discrete independent SV X and Y.(tetr)

If each pair of possible values ​​of random variables X and Y corresponds to one possible value of random variable Z, then Z is called a function of two random arguments X and Y and write Z=φ(X,Y). If X and Y are discrete independent random variables, then in order to find the distribution of the function Z=X+Y, it is necessary to find all possible values ​​of Z, for which it is enough to add each possible value of X to all possible values ​​of Y; the probabilities of the found possible values ​​Z are equal to the products of the probabilities of the added values ​​X and Y. If X and Y are continuous independent random variables, then the distribution density g(z) of the sum Z = X + Y (provided that the distribution density of at least one of the arguments is given in the interval (- oo, oo) by one formula) can be found by the formula , or by an equivalent formula , where f1 and f2 are the distribution densities of the arguments; if the possible values ​​of the arguments are non-negative, then the distribution density g(z) of the value Z=X + Y is found by the formula , or by an equivalent formula . In the case when both densities f1(x) and f2(y) are given on finite intervals, to find the density g(z) of the value Z = X + Y, it is advisable to first find the distribution function G(z) and then differentiate it with respect to z : g(z)=G'(z). If X and Y are independent random variables given by the corresponding distribution densities f1(x) and f2(y), then the probability of a random point (X, Y) falling into the region D is equal to the double integral over this region of the product of the distribution densities: Р [( X, Y)cD] = . Discrete independent random variables X and Y are given by distributions:

Р 0.3 0.7 Р 0.6 0.4

Find the distribution of the random variable Z = X + K. Solution. In order to compose the distribution of the value Z=X+Y, it is necessary to find all possible values ​​of Z and their probabilities. The possible Z values ​​are the sums of each possible X value with all possible Y values: Z 1 = 1+2=3; z 2 \u003d 1 + 4 \u003d 5; z 3 \u003d 3 + 2 \u003d 5; z4 = 3+4 = 7. Let's find the probabilities of these possible values. In order for Z=3, it is sufficient that the value X takes the value x1= l and the value K-value y1=2. The probabilities of these possible values, as follows from these distribution laws, are respectively equal to 0.3 and 0.6. Since the arguments X and Y are independent, the events X = 1 and Y = 2 are independent and, therefore, the probability of their joint occurrence (i.e., the probability of the event Z = 3) according to the rain multiplication theorem is 0.3 * 0.6 = 0 ,eighteen. Similarly, we find:

I B=!-f4 = 5) = 0.3 0.4 = 0.12;

P(Z = 34-2 = 5) = 0.7 0.6 = 0.42;

P(Z = 3rd = 7) = 0.7-0.4 = 0.28. Let's write the desired distribution by adding up the probabilities of incompatible events Z = z 2 = 5, Z=z 3 = 5 (0.12+0.42=0.54):

Z 3 5 7 ; P 0.18 0.54 0.28. Control: 0.18 + 0.54 + 0.28 = 1.

As mentioned earlier, examples of probability distributions continuous random variable X are:

  • uniform distribution
  • exponential distribution probabilities of a continuous random variable;
  • normal probability distribution of a continuous random variable.

Let's give the concept of a normal distribution law, the distribution function of such a law, the procedure for calculating the probability of hitting a random variable X in a certain interval.

IndicatorNormal distribution lawNote
Definition Normal is called the probability distribution of a continuous random variable X, whose density has the form
where m x is the mathematical expectation of the random variable X, σ x is the standard deviation
2 distribution function
Probability hits in the interval (a; b)
- integral Laplace function
Probability that the absolute value of the deviation is less than the positive number δ for m x = 0

An example of solving a problem on the topic "The normal law of distribution of a continuous random variable"

A task.

The length X of some part is a random variable distributed according to the normal distribution law, and has a mean value of 20 mm and a standard deviation of 0.2 mm.
Necessary:
a) write down the expression for the distribution density;
b) find the probability that the length of the part will be between 19.7 and 20.3 mm;
c) find the probability that the deviation does not exceed 0.1 mm;
d) determine the percentage of parts whose deviation from the average value does not exceed 0.1 mm;
e) find how the deviation should be set so that the percentage of parts whose deviation from the average does not exceed the specified one increases to 54%;
f) find an interval, symmetrical about the mean value, in which X will be located with a probability of 0.95.

Solution. but) The probability density of a random variable X, distributed according to the normal law, we find:

provided that m x =20, σ =0.2.

b) For a normal distribution of a random variable, the probability of falling into the interval (19.7; 20.3) is determined by:
F((20.3-20)/0.2) - F((19.7-20)/0.2) = F(0.3/0.2) - F(-0.3/0, 2) \u003d 2Ф (0.3 / 0.2) \u003d 2Ф (1.5) \u003d 2 * 0.4332 \u003d 0.8664.
We found the value Ф(1.5) = 0.4332 in the appendices, in the table of values ​​of the integral Laplace function Φ(x) ( table 2 )

in) The probability that the absolute value of the deviation is less than a positive number 0.1 is found:
P(|X-20|< 0,1) = 2Ф(0,1/0,2) = 2Ф(0,5) = 2*0,1915 = 0,383.
We found the value Ф(0.5) = 0.1915 in the appendices, in the table of values ​​of the integral Laplace function Φ(x) ( table 2 )

G) Since the probability of a deviation less than 0.1 mm is 0.383, it follows that on average 38.3 parts out of 100 will be with such a deviation, i.e. 38.3%.

e) Since the percentage of parts whose deviation from the average does not exceed the specified one has increased to 54%, then P(|X-20|< δ) = 0,54. Отсюда следует, что 2Ф(δ/σ) = 0,54, а значит Ф(δ/σ) = 0,27.

Using the application ( table 2 ), we find δ/σ = 0.74. Hence δ = 0.74*σ = 0.74*0.2 = 0.148 mm.

e) Since the desired interval is symmetric with respect to the mean value m x = 20, it can be defined as a set of X values ​​satisfying the inequality 20 − δ< X < 20 + δ или |x − 20| < δ .

By the condition, the probability of finding X in the desired interval is 0.95, which means that P(|x − 20|< δ)= 0,95. С другой стороны P(|x − 20| < δ) = 2Ф(δ/σ), следовательно 2Ф(δ/σ) = 0,95, а значит Ф(δ/σ) = 0,475.

Using the application ( table 2 ), we find δ/σ = 1.96. Hence δ = 1.96*σ = 1.96*0.2 = 0.392.
Desired interval : (20 - 0.392; 20 + 0.392) or (19.608; 20.392).

Example 1 Mathematical expectation of a normally distributed continuous SW XM(X) = 6, and the standard deviation s( X) = 2.

Find: 1) the probability of hitting the values ​​of CB X in the interval (2; 9);

3) an interval symmetrical with respect to a X with probability g = 0.9642.

Solution. 1) Find the probability of hitting the values ​​of CB X into the interval (2; 9).

Values ​​of the Laplace function taken from the table. The property of oddness of the function Ф(– X) = – F( X).

2) Define the probability

Because a = M(X) = 6 and s = s( X) = 2, then

3) Find an interval symmetrical with respect to a, which includes the values ​​of SW X with probability g = 0.9642.

From the table of values ​​of the Laplace function, we find that is, d = 4.2. Then the interval is -4.2< X – 6 < 4,2 и
1,8 < X < 10,2.

Example 2 Random value T(hours) – the uptime of the device has an exponential distribution. Find the probability that the device will work without repair for at least 600 hours if the mean time of failure-free operation of devices of this type is 400 hours.

Solution. M(T) = 400 hours, therefore, according to the formula (1.46) Since for the exponential distribution then
0,2233.

Example 3 Random value X distributed uniformly on the interval [ a, b]. Find the probability of hitting a random variable X for a segment
, entirely contained inside the segment [ a, b].

Solution. Let's use the formula where is the probability density

.

In this way

Example 4 Electric trains run strictly according to the schedule with an interval
20 minutes. Find the probability that a passenger approaching the platform will wait for the next electric train for more than 10 minutes, as well as the average waiting time.

Solution. X– waiting time (min.) for an electric train, can be considered a uniformly distributed random variable with a density:

and this is the average waiting time for an electric train.

Example 5 The machine produces bushings. The sleeve is considered good if the deviation X its diameter from the design size in absolute value is less than 1 mm. Assuming that the random variable X normally distributed with standard deviation s = 0.5 mm and mathematical expectation a= 0, find how many suitable bushings will be among 100 manufactured ones, as well as the probability that the deviation from the design size will be at least 0.4 mm and not more than 0.8 mm.

Solution. Let's use the formula () at d = 1, s = 0.5 and a = 0.

It follows that approximately 95 bushings out of 100 will be suitable.

To find the probability that the deviation from the design size will be at least 0.4 mm and not more than 0.8 mm, we use the formula (1.54)



at a= 0, s = 0.5, a = 0.4, b = 0.8.

Normal law of probability distribution

Without exaggeration, it can be called a philosophical law. Observing various objects and processes of the world around us, we often encounter the fact that something is not enough, and that there is a norm:


Here is a basic view density functions normal probability distribution, and I welcome you to this most interesting lesson.

What examples can be given? They are just darkness. This, for example, is the height, weight of people (and not only), their physical strength, mental abilities, etc. There is a "mass" (in one way or another) and there are deviations in both directions.

These are different characteristics of inanimate objects (the same dimensions, weight). This is a random duration of processes, for example, the time of a hundred-meter race or the transformation of resin into amber. From physics, air molecules came to mind: among them there are slow ones, there are fast ones, but most of them move at “standard” speeds.

Next, we deviate from the center by one more standard deviation and calculate the height:

Marking points on the drawing (green color) and we see that this is quite enough.

At the final stage, we carefully draw a graph, and especially carefully reflect it convexity / concavity! Well, you probably realized a long time ago that the abscissa axis is horizontal asymptote, and it is absolutely impossible to “climb” for it!

With the electronic design of the solution, the graph is easy to build in Excel, and unexpectedly for myself, I even recorded a short video on this topic. But first, let's talk about how the shape of the normal curve changes depending on the values ​​of and .

When increasing or decreasing "a" (with unchanged "sigma") the graph retains its shape and moves right / left respectively. So, for example, when the function takes the form and our graph "moves" 3 units to the left - exactly to the origin:


A normally distributed quantity with zero mathematical expectation received a completely natural name - centered; its density function even, and the graph is symmetrical about the y-axis.

In the event of a change in "sigma" (with constant "a"), the graph "remains in place", but changes shape. When enlarged, it becomes lower and elongated, like an octopus stretching its tentacles. And vice versa, when decreasing the graph becomes narrower and taller- it turns out "surprised octopus." Yes, at decrease"sigma" two times: the previous chart narrows and stretches up twice:

Everything is in full accordance with geometric transformations of graphs.

The normal distribution with unit value "sigma" is called normalized, and if it is also centered(our case), then such a distribution is called standard. It has an even simpler density function, which has already been encountered in local Laplace theorem: . The standard distribution has found wide application in practice, and very soon we will finally understand its purpose.

Now let's watch a movie:

Yes, quite right - somehow undeservedly we have remained in the shadows probability distribution function. We remember her definition:
- the probability that a random variable will take a value LESS than the variable , which "runs" all real values ​​\u200b\u200bto "plus" infinity.

Inside the integral, a different letter is usually used so that there are no "overlays" with the notation, because here each value is assigned improper integral , which is equal to some number from the interval.

Almost all values ​​cannot be calculated exactly, but as we have just seen, with modern computing power, this is not difficult. So, for the function of the standard distribution, the corresponding excel function generally contains one argument:

=NORMSDIST(z)

One, two - and you're done:

The drawing clearly shows the implementation of all distribution function properties, and from the technical nuances here you should pay attention to horizontal asymptotes and an inflection point.

Now let's recall one of the key tasks of the topic, namely, find out how to find - the probability that a normal random variable will take a value from the interval. Geometrically, this probability is equal to area between the normal curve and the x-axis in the corresponding section:

but each time grind out an approximate value is unreasonable, and therefore it is more rational to use "easy" formula:
.

! also remembers , what

Here you can use Excel again, but there are a couple of significant “buts”: firstly, it is not always at hand, and secondly, “ready-made” values, most likely, will raise questions from the teacher. Why?

I have repeatedly talked about this before: at one time (and not very long ago) an ordinary calculator was a luxury, and the “manual” way of solving the problem under consideration is still preserved in the educational literature. Its essence is to standardize the values ​​"alpha" and "beta", that is, reduce the solution to the standard distribution:

Note : the function is easy to obtain from the general caseusing a linear substitutions. Then and:

and from the replacement just follows the formula transition from the values ​​of an arbitrary distribution to the corresponding values ​​of the standard distribution.

Why is this needed? The fact is that the values ​​were scrupulously calculated by our ancestors and summarized in a special table, which is in many books on terver. But even more common is the table of values, which we have already dealt with in Laplace integral theorem:

If we have at our disposal a table of values ​​of the Laplace function , then we solve through it:

Fractional values ​​are traditionally rounded to 4 decimal places, as is done in the standard table. And for control Item 5 layout.

I remind you that , and to avoid confusion always be in control, table of WHAT function before your eyes.

Answer is required to be given as a percentage, so the calculated probability must be multiplied by 100 and provide the result with a meaningful comment:

- with a flight from 5 to 70 m, approximately 15.87% of the shells will fall

We train on our own:

Example 3

The diameter of bearings manufactured at the factory is a random variable normally distributed with an expectation of 1.5 cm and a standard deviation of 0.04 cm. Find the probability that the size of a randomly taken bearing ranges from 1.4 to 1.6 cm.

In the sample solution and below, I will use the Laplace function as the most common option. By the way, note that according to the wording, here you can include the ends of the interval in the consideration. However, this is not critical.

And already in this example, we met a special case - when the interval is symmetrical with respect to the mathematical expectation. In such a situation, it can be written in the form and, using the oddness of the Laplace function, simplify the working formula:


The delta parameter is called deviation from the mathematical expectation, and the double inequality can be “packed” using module:

is the probability that the value of a random variable deviates from the mathematical expectation by less than .

Well, the solution that fits in one line :)
is the probability that the diameter of a bearing taken at random differs from 1.5 cm by no more than 0.1 cm.

The result of this task turned out to be close to unity, but I would like even more reliability - namely, to find out the boundaries in which the diameter is almost everyone bearings. Is there any criterion for this? Exists! The question is answered by the so-called

three sigma rule

Its essence is that practically reliable is the fact that a normally distributed random variable will take a value from the interval .

Indeed, the probability of deviation from the expectation is less than:
or 99.73%

In terms of "bearings" - these are 9973 pieces with a diameter of 1.38 to 1.62 cm and only 27 "substandard" copies.

In practical research, the “three sigma” rule is usually applied in the opposite direction: if statistically found that almost all values random variable under study fit into an interval of 6 standard deviations, then there are good reasons to believe that this value is distributed according to the normal law. Verification is carried out using the theory statistical hypotheses.

We continue to solve the harsh Soviet tasks:

Example 4

The random value of the weighing error is distributed according to the normal law with zero mathematical expectation and a standard deviation of 3 grams. Find the probability that the next weighing will be carried out with an error not exceeding 5 grams in absolute value.

Solution very simple. By the condition, and we immediately note that at the next weighing (something or someone) we will almost 100% get the result with an accuracy of 9 grams. But in the problem there is a narrower deviation and according to the formula :

- the probability that the next weighing will be carried out with an error not exceeding 5 grams.

Answer:

A solved problem is fundamentally different from a seemingly similar one. Example 3 lesson about uniform distribution. There was an error rounding measurement results, here we are talking about the random error of the measurements themselves. Such errors arise due to the technical characteristics of the device itself. (the range of permissible errors, as a rule, is indicated in his passport), and also through the fault of the experimenter - when, for example, "by eye" we take readings from the arrow of the same scales.

Among others, there are also so-called systematic measurement errors. It's already nonrandom errors that occur due to incorrect setup or operation of the device. So, for example, unadjusted floor scales can consistently "add" a kilogram, and the seller systematically underweight buyers. Or not systematically because you can shortchange. However, in any case, such an error will not be random, and its expectation is different from zero.

…I am urgently developing a sales training course =)

Let's solve the problem on our own:

Example 5

The roller diameter is a random normally distributed random variable, its standard deviation is mm. Find the length of the interval, symmetrical with respect to the mathematical expectation, in which the length of the diameter of the bead will fall with probability.

Item 5* design layout to help. Please note that the mathematical expectation is not known here, but this does not in the least interfere with solving the problem.

And the exam task, which I highly recommend to consolidate the material:

Example 6

A normally distributed random variable is given by its parameters (mathematical expectation) and (standard deviation). Required:

a) write down the probability density and schematically depict its graph;
b) find the probability that it will take a value from the interval ;
c) find the probability that the modulo deviates from no more than ;
d) applying the rule of "three sigma", find the values ​​of the random variable .

Such problems are offered everywhere, and over the years of practice I have been able to solve hundreds and hundreds of them. Be sure to practice hand drawing and using paper spreadsheets ;)

Well, I will analyze an example of increased complexity:

Example 7

The probability distribution density of a random variable has the form . Find , mathematical expectation , variance , distribution function , plot density and distribution functions, find .

Solution: first of all, let's pay attention that the condition does not say anything about the nature of the random variable. By itself, the presence of the exhibitor does not mean anything: it can be, for example, demonstrative or generally arbitrary continuous distribution. And therefore, the “normality” of the distribution still needs to be substantiated:

Since the function determined at any real value , and it can be reduced to the form , then the random variable is distributed according to the normal law.

We present. For this select a full square and organize three-story fraction:


Be sure to perform a check, returning the indicator to its original form:

which is what we wanted to see.

In this way:
- on power rule"pinching off". And here you can immediately write down the obvious numerical characteristics:

Now let's find the value of the parameter. Since the normal distribution multiplier has the form and , then:
, from which we express and substitute into our function:
, after which we will once again go over the record with our eyes and make sure that the resulting function has the form .

Let's plot the density:

and the plot of the distribution function :

If there is no Excel and even a regular calculator at hand, then the last chart is easily built manually! At the point, the distribution function takes on the value and here is
