In Problem 6.3, calculate the conditional probability mass function of Y1given that

(a) localid="1647528969986" Y2=1;

(b) localid="1647528979412" Y2=0.

Short Answer

A man and a woman agree to meet at a certain location about 12:30 p.m. If the man arrives at a time uniformly distributed between 12:15 and 12:45, and if the woman independently arrives at a time uniformly distributed between 12:00 and 1 p.m., find the probability that the first to arrive waits no longer than 5 minutes. What is the probability that the man arrives first?

According to the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, 25.2 percent of males and 23.6 percent of females never eat breakfast. Suppose that random samples of 200 men and 200 women are chosen. Approximate the probability that

(a) at least 110 of these 400 people never eat breakfast;

(b) the number of the women who never eat breakfast is at least as large as the number of the men who never eat breakfast.

The joint density function of X and Y is given by

f(x,y)=xe-x(y+1)x>0,y>0

(a) Find the conditional density of X, given Y = y, and that of Y, given X = x.

(b) Find the density function of Z = XY.

Suppose that n points are independently chosen at random on the circumference of a circle, and we want the probability that they all lie in some semicircle. That is, we want the probability that there is a line passing through the center of the circle such that all the points are on one side of that line, as shown in the following diagram:

Let P1, ... ,Pn denote the n points. Let A denote the event that all the points are contained in some semicircle, and let Ai be the event that all the points lie in the semicircle beginning at the point Pi and going clockwise for 180â—¦, i = 1, ... , n.

(a) Express A in terms of the Ai.

(b) Are the Ai mutually exclusive?

(c) Find P(A).
