    The document discusses probability distribution functions and random variables. It explains that a random variable X can represent the outcome of an experiment or trial, and that the probability of an event associated with X can be written in terms of the representative event that X takes on a value in a particular Borel set. Events related to X, such as X being less than or equal to a value, can then be defined in terms of this representative event.

    Probability Distribution Function

    We have seen that the event and are equivalent and .The
    underlying sample space is omitted in notation and we simply write and instead of
    and respectively.

    Consider the Borel set , where represents any real number. The equivalent event
    is denoted as .The event can be taken as a representative
    event in studying the probability description of a random variable . Any other event can be represented in terms of
    this event. For example,

    and so on.
