follows:


Find and sketch the p.d.f. of X

Short Answer

Expert verified

The c.d.f. of a random variable is as follows:


Step by step solution

01

Given information

The c.d.f. of a random variable is as follows:


02

calculate the PDF

03

Sketch the PDF

In the graph, the x-axis denotes the random variable X and the y-axis denotes the corresponding PDF of X. For example, for X =1 corresponding PDF is 2/9S.

Plotting PDF of random variable X for every value of X, a PDF curve is obtained.

Then the PDF curve is given by

Question:A certain drugstore has three public telephone booths. Fori=0, 1, 2, 3, let\({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{i}}}\)denote the probability that exactlyitelephone booths will be occupied on any Monday evening at 8:00 p.m.; and suppose that\({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{0}}}\)=0.1,\({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{1}}}\)=0.2,\({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{2}}}\)=0.4, and\({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{3}}}\)=0.3. LetXandYdenote the number of booths that will be occupied at 8:00 p.m. on two independent Monday evenings. Determine:

(a) the joint p.f. ofXandY;

(b) Pr(X=Y);

(c) Pr(X > Y ).

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)

Show that there does not exist any numbercsuch that the following function would be a p.f.:

\(f\left( x \right) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}\frac{c}{x}\;\;\;\;for\;x = 1,2,...\\0\;\;\;\;otherwise\end{array} \right.\)
