Chapter 6: Q.6.10 (page 275)

The joint probability density function of X and Y is given by f(x, y) = e-(x+y) 0 鈥� x < q, 0 鈥� y < q Find

(a) P{X < Y} and

(b) P{X < a}.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. P{X<Y}=12

b.P{X<a}=1-e-a

Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

The likelihood of an occasion is the extent of times the occasion occurs out of an enormous number of preliminaries.

02

Explanation (Part a)

Observe that their joint density function can be factorized as:

f(x,y)=e-(x+y)=e-xe-y=fX(x)fY(y)

So because X and Y are equally distributed random variables with distribution Expo(1) and they are independent since the joint density function can be factorized. Because of the equal distribution, we have that

P(X<Y)=12

03

Explanation (part b)

Use the fact that X~Expo(1)to obtain that

P(X<a)=P(X鈮�a)=FX(a)=1-e-afora鈮�0, otherwise it is equal to zero.

Three points X1,X2,X3 are selected at random on a line L. What is the probability thatX2 lies between X1andX3?

Let X1,X2,...be a sequence of independent uniform (0,1)random variables. For a fixed constant c, define the random variable N by N=min{n:Xn>c}Is N independent ofXN? That is, does knowing the value of the first random variable that is greater than c affect the probability distribution of when this random variable occurs? Give an intuitive explanation for your answer.

Jill鈥檚 bowling scores are approximately normally distributed with mean 170and standard deviation 20, while Jack鈥檚 scores are approximately normally distributed with mean 160and standard deviation 15. If Jack and Jill each bowl one game, then assuming that their scores are independent random variables, approximate the probability that

(a) Jack鈥檚 score is higher;

(b) the total of their scores is above 350

A television store owner figures that 45 percent of the customers entering his store will purchase an ordinary television set, 15 percent will purchase a plasma television set, and 40 percent will just be browsing. If 5 customers enter his store on a given day, what is the probability that he will sell exactly 2 ordinary sets and 1 plasma set on that day?
