If are independent exponential random variables with respective parameters and , find the distribution of . Also compute .
Consider a sequence of independent Bernoulli trials, each of which is a success with probability p. Let X1 be the number of failures preceding the first success, and let X2 be the number of failures between the first two successes. Find the joint mass function of X1 and X2.
Let X1, X2, X3, X4, X5 be independent continuous random variables having a common distribution function F and density function f, and set I = P{X1 < X2 < X3 < X4 < X5}
(a) Show that I does not depend on F. Hint: Write I as a five-dimensional integral and make the change of variables ui = F(xi), i = 1, ... , 5.
(b) Evaluate I.
(c) Give an intuitive explanation for your answer to (b).
Suppose that X and Y are independent geometric random variables with the same parameter p.
(a) Without any computations, what do you think is the value of P{X = i|X + Y = n}?
Hint: Imagine that you continually flip a coin having probability p of coming up heads. If the second head occurs on the nth flip, what is the probability mass function of the time of the first head?
(b) Verify your conjecture in part (a).
The joint probability mass function of the random variables X, Y, Z is
