New cards

what is it considered if Y = g(X) and is a single variable and what does it mean

g is monotonic increasing

X is known exactly and that would mean Y is also known exactly

2
New cards

how do you find the probability of the PDF of X and the PDF of Y from the graph of a monotonically increasing function

probability of fX(x) = fX(x)dx

probability of fY(y) = fY(y)dy

3
New cards

give the PDF of Y in terms of the PDF of X

fY(y) = fX(x) |dx/dy| , where x = g-1(y)

4
New cards

how do you find dx/dy

  1. differentiate y with respect to x 

  2. take the reciprocal of the differential of y with respect to x

5
New cards

what will be the result when there is multi-valued single variable function

the probability of fY(y)dy is mapped to 2 regions → fX(x1)dx1 and fX(x2)dx2

6
New cards

what is the PDF of y of a multi-valued single variable function

fY(y) = fX(x1) |dx1/dy| + fX(x2) |dx2/dy|

7
New cards

what is the formula for multi-valued functions of the pdf of Y

fY(y) = Σ fX(xi) |dxi/dy|

8
New cards

what is the result of the mean and the standard deviation when a random variable is scaled eg Y = bX

μY = bμX

σY = |b|σX

9
New cards

what is the formula for covariance of the 2 random variables 

cov (X, Y) = E[(X - μX)(Y - μY)]

10
New cards

what is the correlation coefficient formula from covariance

ρXY = cov (X, Y) / σX σY

11
New cards

what is the range of ρ

-1 ≤ ρ ≤ 1

12
New cards

what is the relationship between correlation and dependence

being independent → uncorrelated 

but uncorrelated does not mean that it is independent 

13
New cards

what is the new mean of a normal distribution Y, where 2 normal distributions, a1X1 and a2X2 add up

μY = a1μX1 + a2μX2

14
New cards

what is the new variance of a normal distribution Y, where 2 normal distributions a1X1 and a2X2 add up

σ2Y = a12σ2X1 + a22σ2X2 + 2 a1a2 ρX1X2 σX1σX2
