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 the ordered values of n independent uniform random variables. Prove that for where
Consider a sample of size from a uniform distribution over . Compute the probability that the median is in the interval .
Show that f(x, y) = 1/x, 0 < y < x < 1, is a joint density function. Assuming that f is the joint density function of X, Y, find
(a) the marginal density of Y;
(b) the marginal density of X;
(c) E[X]; (d) E[Y].
Suppose that W, the amount of moisture in the air on a given day, is a gamma random variable with parameters (t, β). That is, its density is f(w) = βe−βw(βw)t−1/(t), w > 0. Suppose also that given that W = w, the number of accidents during that day—call it N—has a Poisson distribution with mean w. Show that the conditional distribution of W given that N = n is the gamma distribution with parameters (t + n, β + 1)
