I have to check that this propriety



$Z sim N(0,1)$ and $Usim chi ^{2}(10)$ then $ Z/sqrt{U/10} sim T(10)$



is true using r studio if anyone can help , much appreciate

    What do you mean by "verify using R"? A programming language cannot rigorously verify this although it may produce evidence suggesting it is true. If you read the definition of a $t$-distribution, then your question follows almost immediately.

    @angryavian you can use R to sample from the distributions in question and use that to do some hypothesis testing.

One approach could be simulation of thousands of values:




  • Simulate $Z$ using rnorm

  • Simulate $U$ using rchisq

  • Do the division $Y = Z / sqrt{U / 10}$

  • Simulate the same number of $T$ from the hypothesised $t$-distribution using rt

  • Sort $Y$ and $T$ and plot them against each other - you want to see a diagonal straight line essentially $y=x$ with a little noise; this is visual demonstration though not a proof that the distributions are the same


You can do similar things with the qqplot function if you know what you are doing

    I agree with @angryavian that you can't do a 'proof' in R.
    Also, it is crucial to state that random variables $Z$
    and $U$ are independent. Then $Y = frac{Z}{U/sqrt{10}} sim mathsf{T}(10)$ by definition.



    Here is R code to simulate a million values of $T$ [as in the Answer of @Henry (+1)], then to compare their histogram with the density of $mathsf{T}(10).$ This
    is a graphical demonstration that $T$ has (at least very nearly) the claimed t distribution.



    set.seed(405)  # for reproducibility
    z = rnorm(10^6); u = rchisq(10^6, 10)
    y = z/sqrt(u/10)
    hist(y, prob=T, br=50, col="skyblue2")
    curve(dt(x, 10), add=T, lwd=2)


    enter image description here



    Furthermore, you could check that the quantiles of $Y$ very nearly match the theoretical quantiles of $mathsf{T}(10).$



    summary(y)
    Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
    -10.641101 -0.699409 0.000059 0.000221 0.701253 9.802922
    qt(c(.25,.5,.75), 10)
    [1] -0.6998121 0.0000000 0.6998121


    The summary above also shows that $bar Y approx 0.$ And the sample variance of the simulated values of $Y$ is very nearly the variance $nu/(nu - 2) = 10/8 = 1.25$ of Student's t distribution with $nu = 10$ degrees of freedom.
    [In effect, two of the moments suggested by #GeorgeDewhirts (+1).]



    var(y);  10/8
    [1] 1.250115
    [1] 1.25


    Also, you could do a Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit test on the first 5000 values of $Y$ and check that the P-value exceeds 5%. (The K-S test in R is limited to 5000 observations.) Roughly speaking, this is a formal, quantitative way to do @Henry's comparison of sorted observations.



    ks.test(y[1:5000], pt, 10)

    One-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test

    data: y[1:5000]
    D = 0.013661, p-value = 0.3083
    alternative hypothesis: two-sided

                    The summary above also shows that $bar Y approx 0.$ And the sample variance of the simulated values of $Y$ is very nearly the variance $nu/(nu - 2) = 10/8 = 1.25$ of Student's t distribution with $nu = 10$ degrees of freedom.

                    Also, you could do a Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit test on the first 5000 values of $Y$ and check that the P-value exceeds 5%. (The K-S test in R is limited to 5000 observations.) Roughly speaking, this is a formal, quantitative way to do @Henry's comparison of sorted observations.

                    I agree with @angryavian that you can't do a 'proof' in R.
                    Also, it is crucial to state that random variables $Z$
                    and $U$ are independent. Then $Y = frac{Z}{U/sqrt{10}} sim mathsf{T}(10)$ by definition.



                    Here is R code to simulate a million values of $T$ [as in the Answer of @Henry (+1)], then to compare their histogram with the density of $mathsf{T}(10).$ This
                    is a graphical demonstration that $T$ has (at least very nearly) the claimed t distribution.



                    set.seed(405)  # for reproducibility
                    z = rnorm(10^6); u = rchisq(10^6, 10)
                    y = z/sqrt(u/10)
                    hist(y, prob=T, br=50, col="skyblue2")
                    curve(dt(x, 10), add=T, lwd=2)
