If X and Y are independent random variables both uniformly distributed over (0,1), find the joint density function of R=X2+Y2,θ=tan-1Y/X.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The joint probability density function of R=X2+Y2and θ=tan-1Y/Xis rand uniformly distributed from0to1.

Step by step solution

01

Probability density function : 

The probability density function is defined as the integral of the variable density density over a certain range. It is represented by the letter f(x).

02

Explanation :

If X and Y are independent random variables both uniformly distributed over (0,1), then the joint density of X and Y is,

f(x,y)=1

Assume that R and θhave the same probability density function,

f(R,θ)=f(x,y)J(x,y)-1..............(1)

Let,

R=g1x,y=x2+y2.....(2)θ=g2(x,y)=tan-1yx.......(3)

Now, differentiating (2)with respect to x then,

∂g1(x,y)∂x=∂∂x(x2+y2)=xx2+y2

Now, differentiating (2)with respect to x then,

∂g1(x,y)∂y=∂∂y(x2+y2)=yx2+y2

Now, differentiating (3)with respect to x then,

role="math" localid="1647256694571" ∂g2(x,y)∂x=∂∂xtan-1yx=-yx2+y2

Differentiating (3)with respect to y then,

∂g2(x,y)∂y=∂∂ytan-1yx=xx2+y2

03

Explanation :

The Jacobian transformation of X and Y is,

J(x,y)=x2x2+y232+y2(x2+y2)32=1x2+y2=1r

Therefore, the joint probability density function of R and θis,

f(R,θ)=1×1r-1=1×r=r

The joint density function isrranging from 0to1.

If X and Y are independent continuous positive random variables, express the density function of (a) Z = X/Y and (b) Z = XY in terms of the density functions of X and Y. Evaluate the density functions in the special case where X and Y are both exponential random variables

A television store owner figures that 45 percent of the customers entering his store will purchase an ordinary television set, 15 percent will purchase a plasma television set, and 40 percent will just be browsing. If 5 customers enter his store on a given day, what is the probability that he will sell exactly 2 ordinary sets and 1 plasma set on that day?

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.

You and three other people are to place bids for an object, with the high bid winning. If you win, you plan to sell the object immediately for \(10,000. How much should you bid to maximize your expected profit if you believe that the bids of the others can be regarded as being independent and uniformly distributed between \)7,000 and $10,000 thousand dollars?

A man and a woman agree to meet at a certain location about 12:30 p.m. If the man arrives at a time uniformly distributed between 12:15 and 12:45, and if the woman independently arrives at a time uniformly distributed between 12:00 and 1 p.m., find the probability that the first to arrive waits no longer than 5 minutes. What is the probability that the man arrives first?
