Discrete and continuous variables
[5/100%]Let be a random variable with distribution function , and let be a strictly increasing sequence of real numbers satisfying and as . Define when , so that is the distribution function of a discrete random variable. How does the function behave as the sequence is chosen in such a way that becomes smaller and smaller?
Let be a random variable and let be continuous and strictly increasing. Show that is a random variable.
Let be a random variable with distribution function
Let be a distribution function which is continuous and strictly increasing. Show that is a random variable having distribution function . Is it necessary that be continuous and/or strictly increasing?
Show that, if and are density functions, and , then is a density. Is the product a density function?
Which of the following are density functions? Find and the corresponding distribution function for those that are.
