Verify Equation , which gives the joint density of and .
If U is uniform on and Z, independent of U, is exponential with rate , show directly (without using the results of Example b) that X and Y defined by
are independent standard normal random variables.
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)
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

(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.
