Chapter 2: Problem 8

Let \(X_{1}, X_{2}, X_{3}\) be iid with common pdf \(f(x)=\exp (-x), 0

Short Answer

Expert verified
The answers for the probabilities are (a) \(0.5\) and (b) \(1/6\).

Step by step solution

01

Analyze Part (a)

We are asked to find \(P\left(X_{1}<X_{2} \mid X_{1}<2 X_{2}\right)\). From the memoryless property of the exponential distribution, this is equivalent to \(P\left(X_{1}<X_{2}\right)\). Since \(X_1\) and \(X_2\) are iid, \(P\left(X_{1}<X_{2}\right) = P\left(X_{2}<X_{1}\right)\). Thus, it must be that the probability is \(0.5\).
02

Analyze Part (b)

Now, we want to find \(P\left(X_{1}<X_{2}<X_{3} \mid X_{3}<1\right)\). Since \(X_{1}\), \(X_{2}\), and \(X_{3}\) are independent, the probability of the three independent events can be obtained by integration over their joint pdf. The joint pdf \(f(x_1, x_2, x_3)\) of three exponential random variables is given by \[f(x_1, x_2, x_3) = f(x_1) f(x_2) f(x_3) = \exp(-x_1) \exp(-x_2) \exp(-x_3)\] if \(0 < x_1, x_2, x_3 < \infty\), and zero elsewhere.
03

Apply the Integral

The required probability then is \[P\left(X_{1}<X_{2}<X_{3} \mid X_{3}<1\right) = \int_{x_3=0}^{1} \int_{x_2=0}^{x_3} \int_{x_1=0}^{x_2} \exp(-x_1) \exp(-x_2) \exp(-x_3) dx_1 dx_2 dx_3\] After performing the integral calculations, the result is \(1/6\).

A fair die is cast at random three independent times. Let the random variable \(X_{i}\) be equal to the number of spots that appear on the \(i\) th trial, \(i=1,2,3\). Let the random variable \(Y\) be equal to \(\max \left(X_{i}\right) .\) Find the cdf and the pmf of \(Y\). Hint: \(P(Y \leq y)=P\left(X_{i} \leq y, i=1,2,3\right)\).

Let \(F(x, y)\) be the distribution function of \(X\) and \(Y .\) For all real constants \(a

Let \(X_{1}\) and \(X_{2}\) have the joint pmf \(p\left(x_{1}, x_{2}\right)=x_{1} x_{2} / 36, x_{1}=1,2,3\) and \(x_{2}=1,2,3\), zero elsewhere. Find first the joint pmf of \(Y_{1}=X_{1} X_{2}\) and \(Y_{2}=X_{2}\) and then find the marginal pmf of \(Y_{1}\).

Let \(X_{1}\) and \(X_{2}\) have the joint pdf \(f\left(x_{1}, x_{2}\right)=15 x_{1}^{2} x_{2}, 0
