## Problems for Cumulative Distribution Function

Earlier we discussed the introduction of a continuous random variable and cumulative distribution function. Please see this article if you haven’t read it about already. Now we will give some problems related to Cumulative distribution function so you can have a deeper understanding of this topic. These problems are adapted from the following textbook: “Probability and Random Processes by Scott Miller 2nd Edition.” Problem-1: Which of the following mathematical functions could be the CDF of some random variable? Remember: To be a CDF of some random variable, the function $$F_{X}(x)$$ must start at zero when $$x = -\infty$$, end at one...

## Continuous Random Variables and Cumulative Distribution Function

The problem with Discrete random variables was they can’t be used for continuous data. In engineering, there comes a time when we need to model continuous random data, and it happens a lot the most popular random variable which we use is Gaussian Random Variable. Since Discrete Random Variables can be characterized or fully described by their PMF (Probability Mass Function) we can’t use the same for a continuous case because the probability would be 0. We can explain this by giving an example. To see discrete random variables please visit this article. Suppose you want to measure a temperature of...
