Chapter 6: Q.6.22 (page 276)

Let W be a gamma random variable with parameters (t, 尾), and suppose that conditional on W = w, X1, X2, ... , Xn are independent exponential random variables with rate w. Show that the conditional distribution of W given that X1 = x1, X2 = x2, ... , Xn = xn is gamma with parameters t + n, 尾 + n i=1 xi .

Short Answer

Expert verified

It can be seen here,(t+n,尾+鈭�i=1nxi)

Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

Let W be a gamma random variable with parameters (t,尾).

Let W=wand X1,X2,........Xnbe are independent exponential random variable with rate w.

Show that,P(W,X1=x1,X2=x2,.......Xn=xn)is gamma with parameters(t+n,尾+鈭�i=1nx1)

02

Content Explanation

Now,

P(W=w)=f(w)=尾e-尾w(尾w)t-1蟿(t),w>0

And

P(X1=x1,W=w)=we-wxi

Now,

P(X1=x1,.....xn,W=w)=wne鈭�1n=(X1=x1,.....XN=xn鈭�W=w)P(W=w)P(W=w,X1=x1,.....,Xn=xn)=P(W=w鈭�X1=x1,....,Xn=xn)P(X1=x1,.....,Xn=xn)

03

Conclusion

Therefore it can be seen that this is a form of gamma distribution with parameters

(t+n,尾+鈭�i=1nxi

If X and Y are independent binomial random variables with identical parameters n and p, show analytically that the conditional distribution of X given that X + Y = m is the hypergeometric distribution. Also, give a second argument that yields the same result without any computations. Hint: Suppose that 2n coins are flipped. Let X denote the number of heads in the first n flips and Y the number in the second n flips. Argue that given a total of m heads, the number of heads in the first n flips has the same distribution as the number of white balls selected when a sample of size m is chosen from n white and n black balls

Let f(x,y)=24xy0鈮�x鈮�1,0鈮�y鈮�1,0鈮�x+y鈮�1and let it equal 0 otherwise.

(a) Show that f(x,y)is a joint probability density function.

(b) Find E[X].

(c) Find E[Y].

An ambulance travels back and forth at a constant speed along a road of length L. At a certain moment of time, an accident occurs at a point uniformly distributed on the road. [That is, the distance of the point from one of the fixed ends of the road is uniformly distributed over (0, L).] Assuming that the ambulance鈥檚 location at the moment of the accident is also uniformly distributed, and assuming independence of the variables, compute the distribution of the distance of the ambulance from the accident.

If X and Y are independent standard normal random variables, determine the joint density function of

U=XV=XY

Then use your result to show that X/Yhas a Cauchy distribution.

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?
