Let X and Y denote the coordinates of a point uniformly chosen in the circle of radius centered at the origin. That is, their joint density is .
Find the joint density function of the polar coordinates and .
Let be a sequence of independent uniform random variables. For a fixed constant c, define the random variable N by Is N independent of? 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.
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.
