distributions (nbr distributions) Continuous random variables Continuous distributions (time distributions) Other random variables Basic probability theory Sample space, sample points, events • Sample space Ω is the set of all possible sample points ω ∈ Ω – Example Tossing a coin: Ω = {H,T} – Example Casting a die: Ω = {1,2,3,4,5,6} – Example Number of customers in a queue: Ω = {0,1,2, } – Example Call holding time (e.g in minutes): Ω = {x ∈ ℜ | x > 0} • Events A,B,C, ⊂ Ω are measurable subsets of the sample space Ω – Example “Even numbers of a die”: A = {2,4,6} – Example “No customers in a queue”: A = {0} – Example “Call holding time greater than 3.0 (min)”: A = {x ∈ ℜ | x > 3.0} Denote by the set of all events A ∈ – Sure event: The sample space Ω ∈ itself – Impossible event: The empty set ∅ ∈ • Basic probability theory Combination of events A ∪ B = {ω ∈ Ω | ω ∈ A or ω ∈ B} A ∩ B = {ω ∈ Ω | ω ∈ A and ω ∈ B} Ac = {ω ∈ Ω | ω ∉ A} • Union “A or B”: • Intersection “A and B”: • Complement “not A”: • Events A and B are disjoint if – A∩B=∅ • A set of events {B1, B2, …} is a partition of event A if – (i) Bi ∩ Bj = ∅ for all i ≠ j – (ii) ∪i Bi = A – Example Odd and even numbers of a die constitute a partition of the sample space: B1 = {1,3,5} and B2 = {2,4,6} A B1 B2 B3 4 Basic probability theory Probability • Probability of event A is denoted by P(A), P(A) ∈ [0,1] – Probability measure P is thus a real-valued set function defined on the set of events , P: → [0,1] • Properties: – (i) ≤ P(A) ≤ – (ii) P(∅) = – (iii) P(Ω) = – (iv) P(Ac) = − P(A) – (v) P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A ∩ B) – (vi) A ∩ B = ∅ ⇒ P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – – A B (vii) {Bi} is a partition of A ⇒ P(A) = Σi P(Bi) (viii) A ⊂ B ⇒ P(A) ≤ P(B) Basic probability theory Conditional probability • • Assume that P(B) > Definition: The conditional probability of event A given that event B occurred is defined as P( A | B) = • P ( A∩ B ) P( B) It follows that P ( A ∩ B) = P( B) P( A | B ) = P( A) P ( B | A) Basic probability theory Theorem of total probability • • Let {Bi} be a partition of the sample space Ω It follows that {A ∩ Bi} is a partition of event A Thus (by slide 5) (vii ) P ( A) = ∑i P ( A ∩ Bi ) • Assume further that P(Bi) > for all i Then (by slide 6) P ( A) = ∑i P ( Bi ) P ( A | Bi ) • This is the theorem of total probability B1 A B2 B3 Ω B4 Basic probability theory Bayes’ theorem • • Let {Bi} be a partition of the sample space Ω Assume that P(A) > and P(Bi) > for all i Then (by slide 6) P ( Bi | A) = • P ( A∩ Bi ) P ( Bi ) P ( A|Bi ) = P ( A) P ( A) Furthermore, by the theorem of total probability (slide 7), we get P ( Bi | A) = • P ( Bi ) P ( A| Bi ) ∑ j P ( B j ) P ( A|B j ) This is Bayes’ theorem – Probabilities P(Bi) are called a priori probabilities of events Bi – Probabilities P(Bi | A) are called a posteriori probabilities of events Bi (given that the event A occured) Basic probability theory Statistical independence of events • Definition: Events A and B are independent if P( A ∩ B ) = P( A) P ( B) • It follows that = P ( A) P ( B ) P( B) = P ( A) P ( B | A) = P ( A) = P ( A) P ( B ) P ( A) = P( B) P( A | B) = • P ( A∩ B ) P( B) Correspondingly: P ( A∩ B ) Basic probability theory Random variables • • Definition: Real-valued random variable X is a real-valued and measurable function defined on the sample space Ω, X: Ω → ℜ – Each sample point ω ∈ Ω is associated with a real number X(ω) Measurability means that all sets of type { X ≤ x} : ={ω ∈ Ω | X (ω ) ≤ x} ⊂ Ω belong to the set of events , that is {X ≤ x} ∈ • The probability of such an event is denoted by P{X ≤ x} 10 Basic probability theory Continuous random variables • Definition: Random variable X is continuous if there is an integrable function fX: ℜ → ℜ+ such that for all x ∈ ℜ x FX ( x) := P{ X ≤ x} = ∫ f X ( y ) dy −∞ • • The function fX is called the probability density function (pdf) – The set SX, where fX > 0, is called the value set Properties: – (i) P{X = x} = for all x ∈ ℜ – (ii) P{a < X < b} = P{a ≤ X ≤ b} = ∫ab fX(x) dx – (iii) P{X ∈ A} = ∫A fX(x) dx – (iv) P{X ∈ ℜ} = ∫-∞∞ fX(x) dx = ∫S fX(x) dx = X 37 Basic probability theory Example fX(x) FX(x) x x1 x2 x x3 x1 probability density function (pdf) x2 x3 cumulative distribution function (cdf) SX = [x1, x3] 38 Basic probability theory Expectation and other distribution related parameters • Definition: The expectation (mean value) of X is defined by ∞ µ X := E[ X ] := ∫ f X ( x) x dx – −∞ Note 1: The expectation exists only if ∫-∞∞ fX(x)|x| dx < ∞ Note 2: If ∫-∞∞ fX(x)x = ∞, then we may denote E[X] = ∞ – – The expectation has the same properties as in the discrete case (see slide 21) • The other distribution parameters (variance, covariance, ) are defined just as in the discrete case – These parameters have the same properties as in the discrete case (see slides 22-24) 39 Basic probability theory Contents • • • • • • Basic concepts Discrete random variables Discrete distributions (nbr

counterpart of “casting a die” • • Value set: SX = (a,b) Probability density function (pdf): f X ( x ) = , x ∈ ( a, b) b−a • Cumulative distribution function (cdf): FX ( x) := P{ X ≤ x} = x − a , x ∈ (a, b) • • • b−a Mean value: E[X] = ∫ab x/(b − a) dx = (a + b)/2 Second moment: E[X2] = ∫ab x2/(b − a) dx = (a2 + ab + b2)/3 Variance: D2[X] = E[X2] − E[X]2 = (b − a)2/12 41 Basic probability theory Exponential distribution X ∼ Exp(λ ), λ > – continuous counterpart of geometric distribution (“failure” prob ≈ λdt) – P{X ∈ (t,t+h] | X > t} = λh + o(h), where o(h)/h → as h → • • Value set: SX = (0,∞) Probability density function (pdf): f X ( x) = λe −λx , x > • Cumulative distribution function (cdf): FX ( x) = P{ X ≤ x} = − e −λx , x > • • • Mean value: E[X] = ∫0∞ λx exp(−λx) dx = 1/λ Second moment: E[X2] = ∫0∞ λx2 exp(−λx) dx = 2/λ2 Variance: D2[X] = E[X2] − E[X]2 = 1/λ2 42 Basic probability theory Memoryless property of exponential distribution • Exponential distribution has so called memoryless property: for all x,y ∈ (0,∞) P{ X > x + y | X > x} = P{ X > y} • Prove! – Tip: Prove first that P{X > x} = e−λx • Application: – Assume that the call holding time is exponentially distributed with mean h minutes – Consider a call that has already lasted for x minutes Due to memoryless property, this gives no information about the length of the remaining holding time: it is distributed as the original holding time and, on average, lasts still h minutes! 43 Basic probability theory Minimum of exponential random variables • Let X1 ∼ Exp(λ1) and X2 ∼ Exp(λ2) be independent Then X := min{ X1, X } ∼ Exp(λ1 + λ2 ) and λ P{ X = X i } = λ +iλ , i ∈ {1,2} • Prove! – Tip: See slide 15 44 Basic probability theory Standard normal (Gaussian) distribution X ∼ N (0,1) – limit of the “normalized” sum of IID r.v.s with mean and variance (cf slide 48) • • Value set: SX = (−∞,∞) Probability density function (pdf): f X ( x) = ϕ ( x) := e 2π • −1 x2 Cumulative distribution function

– if (X − µ)/σ ∼ N(0,1) • • Value set: SX = (−∞,∞) Probability density function (pdf): f X ( x) = FX ' ( x) = { X xà Cumulative distribution function (cdf): FX ( x) := P{ X x} = P ( ) xà σ }= Φ( ) x−µ σ Mean value: E[X] = µ + σE[(X − µ)/σ] = µ (symmetric pdf around µ) Variance: D2[X] = σ2D2[(X − µ)/σ] = σ2 46 Basic probability theory Properties of the normal distribution • (i) Linear transformation: Let X ∼ N(µ,σ2) and α,β ∈ ℜ Then 2 Y := αX + β ∼ N(à + , ) (ii) Sum: Let X1 ∼ N(µ1,σ12) and X2 ∼ N(µ2,σ22) be independent Then X + X ∼ N( µ1 + µ , σ 12 + σ 22 ) • (iii) Sample mean: Let Xi ∼ N(µ,σ2), i = 1,…n, be independent and identically distributed (IID) Then (cf slide 25) X n := 1n n 1σ 2) X ∼ N ( µ , ∑ i n i =1 47 Basic probability theory Central limit theorem (CLT) • • Let X1,…, Xn be independent and identically distributed (IID) with mean µ and variance σ2 (and the third moment exists) Central limit theorem: i.d (X − µ) → N(0,1) n σ/ n • It follows that for large values of n X n ≈ N ( µ , 1n σ ) 48 Basic probability theory Contents • • • • • • Basic concepts Discrete random variables Discrete distributions (nbr distributions) Continuous random variables Continuous distributions (time distributions) Other random variables 49 Basic probability theory Other random variables • In addition to discrete and continuous random variables, there are so called mixed random variables – containing some discrete as well as continuous portions • Example: – The customer waiting time W in an M/M/1 queue has an atom at zero (P{W = 0} = − ρ > 0) but otherwise the distribution is continuous FW(x) 1−ρ x 50 Basic probability theory THE END 51 ... {0 ,1} Point probabilities: P{ X = 0} = − p, • • • P{ X = 1} = p Mean value: E[X] = (1 − p)⋅0 + p 1 = p Second moment:
