Real Variable.


n the chapter ( Conditional probability chapter ) we introduced notions of random events and illustrated how statements about realization of random variables could be treated as operations on sets and measured via probability function defined on these sets. In the present chapter we expand such approach.

The references for this chapter are [Royden] , [Chung] and [Kolmogorov] .

The triple MATH is called "probability space". Here the $\Omega$ is an event space, $\QTR{cal}{F}$ is a $\sigma $ -algebra of subsets of $\Omega$ (see the section ( Operations on sets and logical statements )) and $P$ is a probability measure (p.m.) MATH , MATH and $P$ is $\sigma$ -additive. We denote MATH . MATH is the Borel field with MATH and MATH . "Borel field $\QTR{cal}{B}$ " is a minimal $\sigma$ -algebra containing all open sets.

Definition

(Real valued random variable). Let MATH . The mapping MATH is called (" $\QTR{cal}{F}$ -measurable") "random variable" (r.v.) if for any MATH MATH

Definition

(Borel measurable function) The mapping MATH is a "Borel measurable function" iff MATH

The random variable $X$ on MATH induces the triple MATH according to the rule MATH For a measure MATH we introduce a (cumulative) distribution function (d.f.) MATH , MATH
