Distribution Distribution function Function Random Random variable Variable

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on understanding how the value of F_X(x) is derived in Table 2.1, specifically for x=1 where F_X(x)=1/2. A participant clarifies that the calculation involves counting the number of elements in the sample space, which totals four elements out of eight. This results in the probability of 4/8, simplifying to 1/2. The explanation highlights the importance of accurately interpreting distribution functions and random variables. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the foundational concepts of probability calculations in statistics.

Hi,

I cannot figure out how they got Table 2.1. For example, how come when x=1, F_X(x)=1/2? Could you please help me with it?

You count four elements there in the table, OK ? So it is 4/8=1/2.

Thread 'Deductive proof in logic formal systems'

I was reading documentation about the soundness and completeness of logic formal systems. Consider the following $$\vdash_S \phi$$ where ##S## is the proof-system making part the formal system and ##\phi## is a wff (well formed formula) of the formal language. Note the blank on left of the turnstile symbol ##\vdash_S##, as far as I can tell it actually represents the empty set. So what does it mean ? I guess it actually means ##\phi## is a theorem of the formal system, i.e. there is a...

Thread 'Onto set mapping is the surjective set mapping, and into injective?'

The textbook is being fine. I asked the forum for some introduction to topology, and decided to start with Simmon`s. This naive question is due to ignorance of the words into and onto, which I don't distinguish in Spanish. A quick browsing sugests I'm right.
