Suppose that the radius X of a circle is a random variable having the following p.d.f.:

\(f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{18\left( {3x + 1} \right)\,\,\,\,for\,0 < x < 2}\\{0\,\,\,otherwise}\end{array}} \right.\)

Determine the p.d.f. of the area of the circle

Short Answer

Expert verified

\({f_Y}\left( y \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\frac{{3\sqrt {\pi y} + 1}}{{16\pi \sqrt {\pi y} }}\,\,\,\,,\,\,4\pi < y < 0\,\,\,\,}\\{0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,,\,otherwise}\end{array}} \right.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\)

Step by step solution

01

Given information

X is the radius of a circle which is a random variable having pdf

\(f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{18\left( {3x + 1} \right)\,\,\,\,for\,0 < x < 2}\\{0\,\,\,otherwise}\end{array}} \right.\)

02

Computing the pdf of the area of the circle

Let Y be the area of the circle then\(Y = \pi {X^2}\)

In real value,

\(y = \pi {x^2}\)

Differentiating both sides w.r.t x

\(\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 2\pi x\)which is\( > 0\)for\(x > 0\)

Then the pdf of Y is given by the following transformation formula

\({f_Y}\left( y \right) = {f_X}\left( x \right)\left| {\frac{{dx}}{{dy}}} \right|\)

So,

\(\begin{aligned}{}{f_Y}\left( y \right) &= {f_X}\left( x \right)\left| {\frac{{dx}}{{dy}}} \right|\\ &= \frac{1}{8}\left( {3x + 1} \right)\frac{1}{{2\pi x}}\\ &= \frac{{\left( {3x + 1} \right)}}{{16\pi x}}\\ &= \frac{{3\sqrt {\pi y} + 1}}{{16\pi \sqrt {\pi y} }}\end{aligned}\)

Where \(4\pi < y < 0\)

\(\therefore {f_Y}\left( y \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\frac{{3\sqrt {\pi y} + 1}}{{16\pi \sqrt {\pi y} }}\,\,\,\,,\,\,0 < y < 4\pi \,\,\,\,}\\{0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,,\,otherwise}\end{array}} \right.\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\)

is the required pdf of the area of the circle.

Question: Prove the distributive properties in Theorem 1.4.10.

Consider the contractor in Example 1.5.4 on page 19. He wishes to compute the probability that the total utility demand is high, meaning that the sum of water and electrical demand (in the units of Example 1.4.5) is at least 215. Draw a picture of this event on a graph like Fig. 1.5 or Fig. 1.9 and find its probability.

The solution to Exercise 1 of Sec. 3.9 is the pdf. of \({{\bf{X}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{ + }}{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{2}}}\)in Example 6.1.2. Find the pdf. of\({{\bf{\bar X}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{ = }}\frac{{{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{ + }}{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{2}}}}}{{\bf{2}}}\). Compare the probabilities that \({X_2}\) and \({X_1}\)are close to 0.5. In particular, compute \({\bf{P}}\left( {\left| {{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{ - 0}}{\bf{.5}}} \right|{\bf{ < 0}}{\bf{.1}}} \right)\)and\({\bf{P}}\left( {\left| {{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{ - 0}}{\bf{.5}}} \right|{\bf{ < 0}}{\bf{.1}}} \right)\). What feature of the pdf \({X_2}\)makes it clear that the distribution is more concentrated near the mean?

A box contains 100 balls, of which rare red. Suppose that the balls are drawn from the box one at a time, at random,without replacement. Determine (a) the probability that the first ball drawn will be red; (b) the probability that the 50th ball drawn will be red, and (c) the probability that the last ball drawn will be red.

Let S be a given sample space and let \({A_1},{A_2},.....\) bean infinite sequence of events. For \(n = 1,2,..........\), let \({B_n} = \bigcup\limits_{i = n}^\infty {{A_i}} \)and let \({C_n} = \bigcap\limits_{i = n}^\infty {{A_i}} \)

a. Show that \({B_1} \supset {B_2} \supset \ldots \ldots \) and that \({C_1} \subset {C_2} \subset \ldots \ldots \).

b. Show that an outcome in S belongs to the event\(\bigcap\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {{B_n}} \) if and only if it belongs toan infinite number of the events \({A_1},{A_2},.....\).

c. Show that an outcome in S belongs to the event \(\bigcup\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {{C_n}} \)if and only if it belongs to all the events\({A_1},{A_2},.....\) except possibly a finite number of those events.
