Suppose that a point (X, Y) is chosen at random from the disk S defined as follows:

\(S = \left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right) :{{\left( {x - 1} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {y + 2} \right)}^2} \le 9} \right\}.\) Determine (a) the conditional pdf of Y for every given value of X, and (b) \({\rm P}\left( {Y > 0|x = 2} \right)\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The conditional pdf of Y for every given value of x is\(\frac{1}{9}{\left( {9 - {{\left( {x - 1} \right)}^2}} \right)^{ - {\raise0.7ex\hbox{$1$} \!\mathord{\left/
  2. {\vphantom {1 2}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}
  3. \!\lower0.7ex\hbox{$2$}}}}\)
  4. \({\rm P}\left( {Y > 0|x = 2} \right)\) is\(\frac{{2 - \sqrt 2 }}{4}\)

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A point X,Y is chosen at random from disk s

\(S = \left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right) :{{\left( {x - 1} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {y + 2} \right)}^2} \le 9} \right\}.\)

02

Calculating Probabilities.

Joint pdf of X and Y is positive for all points inside the circle S.

Area of circle is\(9\pi \)

Joint pdf of X and Y is constant over S

Pdf of x, y will be:

\(f\left( {x,y} \right) = \left\{ \begin{aligned}{l}\frac{1}{{9\pi }}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,for\left( {x,y} \right) \in S\\0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,otherwise\end{aligned} \right.\)

Hence, X can lie between -2 and 4.

In short, for-2<x<4

\(\begin{aligned}{f_1}\left( x \right) = \int\limits_{ - 2 - {{\left( {{{\left( {x - 1} \right)}^2}} \right)}^{\frac{1}{2}}}}^{ - 2 + {{\left( {{{\left( {x - 1} \right)}^2}} \right)}^{\frac{1}{2}}}} {\frac{1}{{9\pi }}} dy\\ = \frac{2}{{9\pi }}{\left( {9 - {{\left( {x - 1} \right)}^2}} \right)^{{\raise0.7ex\hbox{$1$} \!\mathord{\left/

{\vphantom {1 2}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}

\!\lower0.7ex\hbox{$2$}}}}\end{aligned}\)

03

Calculating Conditional pdf

a)

For\( - 2 < x < 4\)and\( - 2 - {\left( {9 - {{\left( {x - 1} \right)}^2}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}} < y < - 2 + {\left( {9 - {{\left( {x - 1} \right)}^2}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\)

Thus,

\(\begin{aligned}{g_2}\left( {y|x} \right) = \frac{{f\left( {x,y} \right)}}{{{f_1}\left( x \right)}}\\ = \frac{1}{9}{\left( {9 - {{\left( {x - 1} \right)}^2}} \right)^{ - {\raise0.7ex\hbox{$1$} \!\mathord{\left/

{\vphantom {1 2}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}

\!\lower0.7ex\hbox{$2$}}}}\end{aligned}\)

04

Calculating probability for part (b)

b)

When x=2 it follows from part a.

\({g_2}\left( {y|x = 2} \right) = \left\{ \begin{aligned}{l}\frac{1}{{2\sqrt 8 }}\,\,\,{\rm{for}} - 2 - \sqrt 8 < y < - 2 + \sqrt 8 \\0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\rm{otherwise}}\end{aligned} \right.\)

Therefore

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm P}\left( {Y > 0|x = 2} \right) = \int\limits_0^{ - 2 + \sqrt 8 } {{g_2}\left( {y|x = 2} \right)dy} \\ = \frac{{ - 2 + \sqrt 8 }}{{2\sqrt 8 }}\\ = \frac{{2 - \sqrt 2 }}{4}\end{aligned}\)

Question:For the joint pdf in example 3.4.7,determine whether or not X and Y are independent.

Let the initial probability vector in Example 3.10.6 be\(v = \left( {\frac{1}{{16}},\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{8},\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{{16}}} \right)\)Find the probabilities of the six states after one generation.

There are two boxes A and B, each containing red and green balls. Suppose that box A contains one red ball and two green balls and box B contains eight red balls and two green balls. Consider the following process: One ball is selected at random from box A, and one ball is selected at random from box B. The ball selected from box A is then placed in box B and the ball selected from box B is placed in box A. These operations are then repeated indefinitely. Show that the numbers of red balls in box A form a Markov chain with stationary transition probabilities, and construct the transition matrix of the Markov chain.

Let Z be the rate at which customers are served in a queue. Assume that Z has the p.d.f.

\(\begin{aligned}f\left( z \right) &= 2e{}^{ - 2z},z > 0\\ &= 0,otherwise\end{aligned}\)

Find the p.d.f. of the average waiting time T = 1/Z.

Each student in a certain high school was classified according to her year in school (freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior) and according to the number of times that she had visited a certain museum (never, once, or more than once). The proportions of students in the various classifications are given in the following table:

Never once More than once

than once

Freshmen 0.08 0.10 0.04

Sophomores 0.04 0.10 0.04

Juniors 0.04 0.20 0.09

Seniors 0.02 0.15 0.10

a. If a student selected at random from the high school is a junior, what is the probability that she has never visited the museum?

b. If a student selected at random from the high school has visited the museum three times, what is the probability that she is a senior?
