Random Variable(RV)
• A Random variable is a real function of the events of the
given sample space. It is denoted with any capital letter like
X(S).
• A random variable X can be considered as a function that
maps all events of the sample space into points on the real
axis.
Eg. To be discussed using chalk and board taking example
of tossing 2 coins at a time.

Conditions for a function to be RV
• Every point in the sample space must correspond to only one
value of the random variable.
• The set{X≤x} shall be an event for any real number x.The
probability of this event is equal to the sum of the
probabilities of all the events corresponding to set{X≤x} .This
is denoted as P{X≤x} .
• The probabilities of events {X= ∞}and {X=- ∞} are zero.

Types of Random variable
• Continuous Random Variable
• Discrete Random Variable
• Mixed Random Variable

Continuous Random Variable
• A Continuous random variable is one having continuous range
of values.
• The sample space for continuous random variable is
continuous.
eg. Temperature calculation

Discrete Random Variable
• A Discrete random variable is one having only discrete
values.
• The sample space for a discrete random variable can be
discrete, continuous or mixture of continuous and discrete.
eg. No. of telephone calls received in an office in a finite
interval of time.

Mixed Random Variable
• A mixed random variable is one for which some of its values
are discrete and some are continuous.
• The mixed case is usually the least important but it occurs in
some problems of practical significance.

Probability Distribution Function(PDF)
• The Probability Distribution Function describes probabilistic
behaviour of a random variable.
• The Probability Distribution Function of a Random variable X
is given by FX(x).
FX(x)= P{X ≤ x}
P{X ≤ x} is the probability of all the events {X ≤ x}
x is a real number in the range - ∞ ≤ x ≤ ∞

PDF-other names & example
• PDF is also called as cummulative distribution function(CDF)
or general distribution function(GDF).
eg.-To be discussed using chalk and board taking example of
tossing 3 coins at a time.

function is integration of all continuous probabilities of X
upto the value x. It is given by the expression:

Properties of PDF
3) 0 ≤ FX(x) ≤ 1
Since the distribution function takes the values of all the
probabilities, the range of distribution function is also same as
the range of probability.
4) FX(x1) ≤ FX(x2) , if x1 < x2
FX(x) is a non decreasing function of x, i.e the distribution
function is monotonically increasing function between 0 and 1.

Properties of PDF
5)P{x1 < X ≤ x2} = FX(x2) - FX(x1)
It states that the probability that X will have values larger than
some number x1 but not exceeding another number x2 is equal
to the difference in FX(x) evaluated at the two points
6) FX(x+) = FX(x)
It states that the probability distribution function is continuous
from x to x+, where x+ is an infinitesimal increment in x

defined as the second central moments μ 2 of X.
• It is denoted by σx2 or var(X) and is given by:

Transformations of RVs
• Transformation is used to convert a given random variable X
into another random variable Y.
• It is denoted as: Y=T(X), T represents transformation.
• The transformation of X to Y is :

Types of Transformations
• Monotonically increasing transformation
• Monotonically decreasing transformation
• Non monotonic transformation

Monotonic Transformations of continuous RV
• Consider a random variable X.

• If the transformation is T(x1) < T(x2) for any x1 < x2,then it is
called a monotonically increasing transformation.
• If the transformation is T(x1) > T(x2) for any x1 < x2,then it is
called a monotonically decreasing transformation.

Monotonically Increasing Function
• Assume that the transformation T is continuous and
differentiable for all values of x with fX(x) ≠ 0. Let another
random variable Y have a value y0 corresponding to x0 of X as
shown in figure

• The relationship between random variables X and Y in terms
of density function is given by:

The transformation is given as:
Y=T(X)
y0 =T(x0)
or x0= T-1(y0)
where T-1 represents the inverse of the transformation T.

• Since transformation provides a one-to-one correspondence
between X and Y, the probability of the event {Y ≤ y0 } must
be equal to the probability of the event {X ≤ x0}.
Thus,
P{Y ≤ y0 }= P{X ≤ x0}
FY(y0)= FX(x0)


Monotonically Decreasing Function



• Using Leibniz’s rule and differentiating w.r.t y0

Monotonically Increasing/Decreasing
Function
• Therefore for a monotonic transformation, either increasing or
decreasing, the density function of y is:

Non-Monotonic Transformations of
continuous RV
• Consider a random variable Y which is non-monotonic
transformation of a random variable X as shown in figure.

continuous RV

continuous RV
• For any given event {Y ≤ y0 },there is more than one value of
From figure, it is found that the event {Y ≤ y0 }corresponds to
events {X ≤ x1 and x2 ≤ X ≤ x3}.
• Thus the probability of the event {Y ≤ y0 } is equal to the
probability of the event{X|Y ≤ y0 }.

continuous RV
• By differentiating, the density function is given by:

continuous RV
• This can be simplified by using Leibniz’s rule as:

Transformation of a discrete RV
• If X is a discrete random variable and the transformation is
monotonic, then the set{yn} of a random variable Y has one-
to-one correspondence with the set {xn},through the equation
yn= T(xn) and P(yn)=P(xn)
Therefore,

Transformation of a discrete RV
• If the transformation is non-monotonic, there may exist more
than one value xn which corresponds to yn.P(yn) will be equal
to sum of all the probability of values for which yn= T(xn) .

Functions to generate moments
• Moment Generating Function(MGF)-not in syllabus
• Characteristic Function

Moment Generating Function(MGF)
• Consider a random variable X with pdf fX(x) ,then the MGF
of X is defined as the expected value of the function e vX.It is
given by:
MX(v)=E[e vX]
v is a real variable , - ∞ ≤ v ≤ ∞

Moment Generating Function(MGF)
• For a continuous random variable,
MX(v)= ∫ e vXfX(x) dx

MX(v)= Σ e vxiP(xi)

Calculation of moments using MGF
• If MX(v) is a moment generating function of a random
variable X, then the nth moment of X is given by:

Disadvantage of MGF
• The main disadvantage of MGF is that it may not exist for all
random variables and values of v. To overcome this
disadvantage, we prefer another method for generating
moments which is characteristic function, which exists for all
values of X and ω.

Properties of MGF
1)The MGF at v=0 is unity. It is given as:
MX(v)|v=0=MX(0)=1
2)Let X be a random variable with MGF MX(v),then the MGF

for Y=aX+b is given by:
MY(v)=e bv MX(av)

Properties of MGF
3)If MX(v) is a MGF of a random variable X,then
MX (cv)=Mcx(v),where c=real constant
4)If X1 and X2 are two independent random variables with MGF

Mx1(v) and Mx2(v) then
MX1+X2(v)=MX1(v) MX2(v)

Fourier Transform and Inverse
Fourier transform
• Fourier Transform-
• Inverse Fourier Transform-

Characteristic Function
• Consider a random variable X with a pdf fX(x) ,then the
expected value of the function e jωX is called the characteristic
function.
• It is given by:
(ω) =E[e jωX ]
x
• It is a function of real variable, - ∞ ≤ ω ≤ ∞,j is an imaginary
operator.

• For a continuous random variable,
(ω)= ∫ e jωX f (x) dx

x X
(ω)= Σ e jωxiP(x )
x i

• The characteristic function transforms the random variable X
into another real variable ω.It can be expressed as Fourier
transform of fX(x) with the sign of ω reversed.
• Therefore the inverse fourier transform of x(ω) gives the pdf
with the sign of x reversed.
• So the functions x(ω) and fX(x) are fourier transform pairs
with the sign of the variable reversed.


Calculation of moments using
• If x(ω) is the characteristic function of a random variable X,
then the nth moment of X is given by:

Properties Of Characteristic Function
1)The characteristic function is unity at ω =0 and given by:
x(ω)| ω=0 = x(0) =1
2)The maximum amplitude of the characteristic function is

unity at ω =0 i.e
| x(ω)| ≤ x(0) or | x(ω)| ≤ 1

3) x(ω) is continuous function of ω in the range - ∞ ≤ ω ≤ ∞
4) x(-ω) and x(ω) are conjugate functions i.e
(-ω)= *(ω) and *(-ω)=
x x x x(ω)
5)If x(ω) is a characteristic function of a random variable
X,then the characteristic function of Y=aX+b is given by:
(ω)= e jωb (aω) ,where a,b are constants
Y x

6)If x(ω)
is a characteristic function of a random variable X, then
x(cω) = x(ω),where c is a real constant.
7)If X1and X2 are two independent random variables, then:
x1+x2(ω)= x1(ω) x2(ω)

random variable X in the range [0,1] ( eg 3.5)
