Question
Let $X \sim \mathrm{DUnif}(C)$, and $B$ be a nonempty subset of $C .$ Find the conditional distribution of $X$, given that $X$ is in $B$.
Step 1
We know that $X$ follows a discrete uniform distribution over the set $C$. This means that each element in $C$ has an equal probability of being chosen, which is $\frac{1}{|C|}$, where $|C|$ denotes the number of elements in $C$. Show more…

Let $X$ be a random variable with probability density function $$ f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} c\left(1-x^{2}\right) & -1<x<1 \\ 0 & \text { otherwise } \end{array}\right. $$ (a) What is the value of $c ?$ (b) What is the cumulative distribution function of $X ?$
Let $X, Y, Z$ be discrete r.v.s such that $X$ and $Y$ have the same conditional distribution given $Z$, i.e., for all $a$ and $z$ we have $$ P(X=a \mid Z=z)=P(Y=a \mid Z=z) . $$ Show that $X$ and $Y$ have the same distribution (unconditionally, not just when given $Z)$.
