Part A

1a

What are the conditions for a function to be a random variable?

2 marks

Answer

A function X(s) mapping the sample space S to the set of real numbers is a random variable if it satisfies the following two conditions: 1) The set {s : X(s) ≤ x} is an event for every real number x, meaning it must be a subset of the sample space S that belongs to the defined sigma-algebra. 2) The probabilities of the events {X = ∞} and {X = -∞} must be zero, ensuring the function takes on finite real values with probability one.

1b

Give the expression for an arbitrary transformation of a single random variable.

3 marks

Answer

For a continuous random variable X with probability density function fX(x), let Y = g(X) be a transformation where g(x) is a monotonic, differentiable function. The probability density function of the transformed random variable Y is given by:

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

If the transformation g(x) is not monotonic and maps multiple values of x to the same value y, the density function is expressed as the sum over all roots xi such that y = g(xi):

fY(y) = Σ [fX(xi) / |g'(xi)|]

A missile can be accidentally launched if two relays A and B both have failed. The probabilities of A and B failing are known to be 0.01 and 0.03 respectively. It is also known that B is more likely to fail (probability 0.06) if A failed. i) What is the probability of an accidental missile launch? ii) What is the probability that A will fail if B has failed? iii) Are events “A fails” and “B fails” statistically independent?
