Show that the jointly continuous (discrete) random variables X1, ... , Xn are independent if and only if their joint probability density (mass) function f(x1, ... , xn) can be written as f(x1, ... , xn) = n i=1 gi(xi) for nonnegative functions gi(x), i = 1, ... , n

Short Answer

Expert verified

X1,.....Xnare independent only iff(x1,......xn)=i=1ngi(xi)

Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

We need to proofX1,.....Xnare independent only iff(x1,......xn)=i=1ngi(xi)

02

Content Explanation 

Let X1,.....Xn be independent variables.

by the definition of independence P(X1B1).......P(Xn......Bn) for all subsets B1,....Bn of the real numbers.

Let us choose localid="1647605707823" B1=(-,x1),B2(-,....x2),.....,Bn=(-,xn)

However, the cumulative distribution is defined as Fx(x)=P(Xx)

The derivative with respect to each variable is

f(x1,....xn)=nx1....xnF(x1,....xn)=nx1Fx1(x1).......nxnFxn(xn)

Lettinggi(xi)=fxi(xi)we then obtainedrole="math" localid="1647606023027" f(x1,....xn)=i=1ngi(xi)

03

Conclusion

Let f(x1,....xn)=i=1ngi(xi)

Let B1, B2, ......Bn be subsets of real numbers.

P(X1B1,........XnBn)=B1.....Bnf(x1,....xn)dxn...dx1=B1...Bni=1ngi(xi)dxn....dx1=B1g1(x1)dx1........Bngn(xn)dxn=P(X1B1)....P(XnBn)

We have prove that X1,.....Xn are independent variables.

Consider a directory of classified advertisements that consists of m pages, where m is very large. Suppose that the number of advertisements per page varies and that your only method of finding out how many advertisements there are on a specified page is to count them. In addition, suppose that there are too many pages for it to be feasible to make a complete count of the total number of advertisements and that your objective is to choose a directory advertisement in such a way that each of them has an equal chance of being selected.

(a) If you randomly choose a page and then randomly choose an advertisement from that page, would that satisfy your objective? Why or why not? Let n(i) denote the number of advertisements on page i, i = 1, ... , m, and suppose that whereas these quantities are unknown, we can assume that they are all less than or equal to some specified value n. Consider the following algorithm for choosing an advertisement.

Step 1. Choose a page at random. Suppose it is page X. Determine n(X) by counting the number of advertisements on page X.

Step 2. 鈥淎ccept鈥 page X with probability n(X)/n. If page X is accepted, go to step 3. Otherwise, return to step 1.

Step 3. Randomly choose one of the advertisements on page X. Call each pass of the algorithm through step 1 an iteration. For instance, if the first randomly chosen page is rejected and the second accepted, then we would have needed 2 iterations of the algorithm to obtain an advertisement.

(b) What is the probability that a single iteration of the algorithm results in the acceptance of an advertisement on page i?

(c) What is the probability that a single iteration of the algorithm results in the acceptance of an advertisement?

(d) What is the probability that the algorithm goes through k iterations, accepting the jth advertisement on page i on the final iteration?

(e) What is the probability that the jth advertisement on page i is the advertisement obtained from the algorithm?

(f) What is the expected number of iterations taken by the algorithm?

Suppose that 106 people arrive at a service station at times that are independent random variables, each of which is uniformly distributed over (0, 106). Let N denote the number that arrive in the first hour. Find an approximation for P{N = i}.

The monthly worldwide average number of airplane crashes of commercial airlines is 2.2. What is the probability that there will be (a) more than 2such accidents in the next month? (b) more than 4such accidents in the next 2months? (c) more than 5such accidents in the next 3months? Explain your reasoning!

Suppose that A, B, C, are independent random variables, each being uniformly distributed over0,1.

(a) What is the joint cumulative distribution function of A, B, C?
