probability - Cumulative distribution function determine the random variable



I don't know that determine is the right word, but I try to explain. What I need to understand. :) So..
We know's that if a function fit this conditions:





  • Monotonically non-decreasing for each of its variables

  • Right-continuous for each of its variables.



0F(x1,,xn)1


limx1,,xnF(x1,,xn)=1


limxiF(x1,,xn)=0, for all i

then the function is or can be a cumulative distribution function.



In this logic the cumulative distribution function determine the random variable? How I can prove it in mathematical way? This is true, I understand in my own way, but not mathematically.



Maybe we can start that the cumulative distribution function determine the probability distribution and vica versa. But how I can prove it mathematically that, the probability distribution determine random variable?



Thanks for your explanation,

I am really grateful:)


Answer



In general the CDF does not determine the distribution function. Consider for instance the uniform distributions over [a,b] and over (a,b). The distribution functions are different but it is straightforward to check that the CDFs are identical.
