What is Conditional Probability Density Function (Conditional PDF)?

A probability density function is known as conditional PDF, when one random variable out of two random variables has a fixed value. Here suppose we have two random variables X and Y, and X has a fixed value equal to x.

Properties of Conditional Probability Density Function (Conditional PDF)


Property 1- Conditional PDF is a non-negative function.



As conditional PDF is a ratio of two PDFs and we know that PDF is a non-negative function. Therefore the ratio of two non-negative PDFs is also non- negative function.

Property 2- Area under the conditional PDF is unity i.e. one.
This property mathematically can be expressed as-

Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) for discrete random variables

If 'X' is a discrete random variable, then it takes on values at discrete points.
Therefore CDF can be defined for this case as shown in the image below-


CDF for Discrete Random Variable Explanation 

So the CDF for a discrete random variable for the complete range of x can be defined as shown in the image below-


CDF for Discrete Random Variable, Cumulative distribution function
CDF for Discrete Random Variable

=> Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of a discrete variable at any certain event is equal to the summation of the probabilities of random variable upto that certain event. 
As x varies from -∞ to ∞ the graph of CDF i.e. Fx(x) resembles a staircase with upward steps having height P(X=xj) at each x=xj.
But note one thing that the graph of Fx(x) CDF remains constant between the two steps or events.

Random Variables (Discrete and Continuous Random Variables), Sample space and Random Variables Examples

Before understanding the concept of random variables, you need to know what is a sample space in probability.


What is Sample Space in probability (S)

The range of all possible outcomes of an experiment is known as the 'Sample Space' (s).

Random Variable (Random Variable Definition)

A random variable is a function which can take on any value from the sample space and having range of some set of real numbers, is known as the random variable of the experiment.

#Discrete Random Variables and
#Continuous Random Variables

Now we will understand the Discrete Random Variables with the help of an example-


Discrete Random Variables

These are the random variable which can take on only finite number of values in a finite observation interval. So we can say that to discrete random variable has distinct values that can be counted.

Example of Discrete Random Variable

Let's take an example (experiment) of tossing 3 coins at the same time (simultaneously).
Now for this experiment the sample space is
S= {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}
Here let's suppose that the number of tails is the random variable X
So X= {0    1    1   1   2   2   2  3}
       = {x1  x2  x3 x4 x5 x6 x7 x8}

Now let's discuss other type of random variables i.e.  Continuous random variables.


Continuous Random Variables

A random variable that takes on an infinite number of values is known as a continuous random variable. Many physical systems (experiments) can produce infinite number of outputs in a finite time of observation. In such cases we use continuous random variables to define outputs of such systems.

Examples of Continuous Random Variables

Example 1- A random variable that measures the time taken in completing a job, is continuous random variable, since there are infinite number of times (different times) to finish that job.

Example 2 - Noise voltage that is generated by an electronic amplifier has a continuous amplitude. Therefore sample space (S) and random variable (X) both are continuous.
