又称: random variable · distribution

Definition 18.5 High School Mathematics · 第 18 章 — Probability and Random Variables

A random variable on Ω\Omega is a function XX assigning a number to each outcome. Its distribution is the table of its possible values x1,…,xkx_1, \dots, x_k together with their probabilities

P(X=xi)=P({ω:X(ω)=xi}),∑i=1kP(X=xi)=1.\P(X = x_i) = \P\bigl(\{\omega : X(\omega) = x_i\}\bigr), \qquad \sum_{i=1}^k \P(X = x_i) = 1 .

示例

Example 18.6

A game: pay 22 euros, roll one fair die, receive the value shown if it is at least 55, nothing otherwise. Let GG be the gain (received minus paid). The outcomes 1,2,3,41, 2, 3, 4 give G=−2G = -2; the outcome 55 gives G=3G = 3; the outcome 66 gives G=4G = 4. The distribution of GG:

Definition 33.1 High School Mathematics · 第 33 章 — Random Variables and the Binomial Distribution

A random variable on a finite sample space Ω\Omega is a function X ⁣:Ω→RX \colon \Omega \to \R. Its distribution (or law) is the data of its possible values x1,…,xkx_1, \dots, x_k and of the probabilities

pi=P(X=xi),∑i=1kpi=1.p_i = \P(X = x_i), \qquad \sum_{i=1}^{k} p_i = 1 .
