Simulating Discrete Random Variable

Object:
Compute cdf.
Code:
function f = compute_cdf(px)
n= length(px);
f = zeros(n,1);
f(1) = px(1);
for i= 2:n
f(i) = f(i-1)+ px(i);
end
>> px=[0.1;0.2;0.1;0.2;0.2;0.1];
>> F=compute_cdf(px)
Output:
n =6
F =0.1000
0.3000
0.4000
0.6000
0.8000
0.9000
Object:
Plot F using stairs.
Code: 1
px=[0.1;0.2;0.1;0.2;0.2;0.1];
x=[1;3;4;7;8;9]; 0.9

f=cumsum(px); 0.8

figure(1); 0.7

clf; 0.6

hold on; 0.5

grid; 0.4
f1=[0;f;1];
0.3
x1=[min(x)-1;x;max(x)+1];
0.2
stairs(x1,f1);
plot(x,f,'0'); 0.1

Output: 

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Object:
Simulate dice throw.
Code:
num_experiments=1000
count=zeros(1,6)
outcomes=[1,2,3,4,5,6]
for i=1:num_experiments
dice_throw=ceil(6*rand(1))
for j=1:6
if(dice_throw==outcomes(j))
count(j)=count(j)+1
end
end
end

Discrete pdf

Plotting discrete pdf.

Code: 0.2
X = [1 2 3 4 5 6];
pdf =[0.2 0.14 0.22 0.16 0.17 0.11];

This is probability of X
stem(X,pdf); 0.15

xlabel('This is the Random Variable
