probability theory - Prove that F: mathbbRtomathbbR nondecreasing, right continous and goes to 1/0 in infty/infty is a CDF for a random variable X



Prove that F: RR nondecreasing, right continous, limtF(t)=0, limtF(t)=1 is a CDF for some random variable X, i.e. there exists random variable X such that FX=F where FX denotes CDF of X.



The hint was to look onto (Ω=(0,1),F=B((0,1)),λ|(0,1)).




I know that CDF of any random variable has those properties, but I fail to see how to link FX with F.


Answer



For ω(0,1) define X(ω)=inf{t:F(t)ω}. First note that F(t)ω} implies that X(ω)t.



Now suppose F(t)<ω. Then F(s)<ω for all st. This implies that X(ω)t. In other words $X(\omega) implies F(t)ω.



Thus P(Xt)λ((0,F(t)])=F(t) or FX(t)F(t). Also FX(t)F(t). These two inequalities imply that FX(t)=F(t) at all points where FX is continuous. Since both of these are right-continuous function it follows that FX=F.
