Question:Suppose thatXandYhave a continuous joint distribution for which the joint p.d.f. is
\({\bf{f}}\left( {{\bf{x,y}}} \right){\bf{ = }}\left\{ \begin{array}{l}{\bf{k}}\;{\bf{for}}\;{\bf{a}} \le {\bf{x}} \le {\bf{b}}\;{\bf{and}}\;{\bf{c}} \le {\bf{y}} \le {\bf{d}}\\{\bf{0}}\;{\bf{otherwise}}\end{array} \right.\)
wherea <b,c < d, andk >0.
Find the marginal distributions ofXandY.
Suppose that the joint distribution of X and Y is uniform over a set A in the xy-plane. For which of the following sets A are X and Y independent?
a. A circle with a radius of 1 and with its center at the origin
b. A circle with a radius of 1 and with its center at the point (3,5)
c. A square with vertices at the four points (1,1), (1,−1), (−1,−1), and (−1,1)
d. A rectangle with vertices at the four points (0,0), (0,3), (1,3), and (1,0)
e. A square with vertices at the four points (0,0), (1,1),(0,2), and (−1,1)
Let X1…,Xn be independent random variables, and let W be a random variable such that \({\rm P}\left( {w = c} \right) = 1\) for some constant c. Prove that \({x_1},....,{x_n}\)they are conditionally independent given W = c.
Return to the situation described in Example 3.7.18. Let\(x = \left( {{x_1},.....,{x_5}} \right)\)and compute the conditional pdf of Z given X = x directly in one step, as if all of X were observed at the same time.
Suppose that \({{\bf{X}}_{\bf{1}}}\;{\bf{and}}\;{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{2}}}\) are i.i.d. random variables andthat each of them has a uniform distribution on theinterval [0, 1]. Find the p.d.f. of\({\bf{Y = }}{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{ + }}{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{2}}}\).
