Suppose that Xhas the uniform distribution on theinterval\(\left[ {{\bf{0,1}}} \right]\). Construct a random variable \({\bf{Y = r}}\left( {\bf{X}} \right)\)forwhich the p.d.f. will be

\(\begin{aligned}g\left( y \right) &= \frac{3}{8}{y^2},0 < y < 2\\ &= 0,otherwise.\end{aligned}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The Random Variable \(Y = r\left( X \right)\) is \(y = {\left( {8x} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\)

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The random variable X follows uniform distribution on the interval [0,1], i.e.,\(X \sim U\left[ {0,1} \right]\).

02

Obtain the PDF of X and Y

The pdf of a uniform distribution is obtained by using the formula: \(\frac{1}{{b - a}};a \le x \le b\)

Here, \(a = 0,b = 1\)

\({f_x} = \frac{1}{{1 - 0}};0 \le x \le 1\)

\(\begin{aligned}{f_x} &= 1,0 \le x \le 1\\ &= 0,o.w.\end{aligned}\)

And given pdf of Y is

\(\begin{aligned}g\left( y \right) &= \frac{3}{8}{y^2},0 < y < 2\\ &= 0,otherwise. \ldots \left( 1 \right)\end{aligned}\)

03

Using transformation with the pdf method

By Theorem 3.8.4,

Let X be anongoing randomized variable with PDF f(x). Let \(y = g\left( x \right)\) be an increasing/decreasing function. The density function of a random variable \(y = g\left( x \right)\) is given by

\(g\left( y \right) = f\left[ {s\left( y \right)} \right]\left| {\frac{{ds\left( y \right)}}{{dy}}} \right| \ldots \left( 2 \right)\)

\(x = s\left( y \right)\)is the inverse of the function \(g\left( x \right)\)

04

Substituting the values in the equation

We know that,

\(f\left[ {s\left( y \right)} \right] = 1\)since\(X \sim U\left[ {0,1} \right]\)

By substituting\(\left( {\rm{1}} \right)\;{\rm{in}}\;\left( {\rm{2}} \right)\)

\(\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \frac{3}{8}{y^2} = 1 \cdot \left| {\frac{{ds\left( y \right)}}{{dy}}} \right|\\ &\Rightarrow \left| {\frac{{ds\left( y \right)}}{{dy}}} \right| = \frac{3}{8}{y^2}\end{aligned}\)

Integrating both sides

\(x = \frac{{{y^3}}}{8} \ldots \left( 3 \right)\)

05

Obtaining \({\bf{Y = r}}\left( {\bf{X}} \right)\)

\(y = {\left( {8x} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\) from \(\left( 3 \right)\)

Therefore, the Random Variable \(Y = r\left( X \right)\) is \(y = {\left( {8x} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\)

Suppose that the joint distribution of X and Y is uniform over the region in the\({\bf{xy}}\)plane bounded by the four lines\({\bf{x = - 1,x = 1,y = x + 1}}\)and\({\bf{y = x - 1}}\). Determine (a)\({\bf{Pr}}\left( {{\bf{XY > 0}}} \right)\)and (b) the conditional p.d.f. of Y given that\({\bf{X = x}}\).

Question:Suppose that the joint p.d.f. ofXandYis as follows:

\(\)\({\bf{f}}\left( {{\bf{x,y}}} \right){\bf{ = }}\left\{ \begin{array}{l}\frac{{{\bf{15}}}}{{\bf{4}}}{{\bf{x}}^{\bf{2}}}\;{\bf{for}}\;{\bf{0}} \le {\bf{y}} \le {\bf{1 - }}{{\bf{x}}^{\bf{2}}}\\{\bf{0}}\;{\bf{otherwise}}\end{array} \right.\)

a. Determine the marginal p.d.f.’s ofXandY.

b. AreXandYindependent?

In a large collection of coins, the probability X that a head will be obtained when a coin is tossed varies from one coin to another, and the distribution of X in the collection is specified by the following p.d.f.:

\({{\bf{f}}_{\bf{1}}}\left( {\bf{x}} \right){\bf{ = }}\left\{ {\begin{align}{}{{\bf{6x}}\left( {{\bf{1 - x}}} \right)}&{{\bf{for}}\,{\bf{0 < x < 1}}}\\{\bf{0}}&{{\bf{otherwise}}}\end{align}} \right.\)

Suppose that a coin is selected at random from the collection and tossed once, and that a head is obtained. Determine the conditional p.d.f. of X for this coin.

Suppose that\({{\bf{X}}_{\bf{1}}}\)and\({{\bf{X}}_{\bf{2}}}\)are i.i.d. random variables, and that each has the uniform distribution on the interval[0,1]. Evaluate\({\bf{P}}\left( {{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{1}}}^{\bf{2}}{\bf{ + }}{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{2}}}^{\bf{2}} \le {\bf{1}}} \right)\)
