Determine the integral of the joint pdf over the given region in part a.

Determine the integral of the joint pdf over the given region when \(0 \le x \le 20\)(which is then bounded by the two straight lines):

\(\begin{aligned}\int_0^{20} {\int_{20 - x}^{30 - x} f } (x,y)dydx &= \int_0^{20} {\int_{20 - x}^{30 - x} k } xydydx\\ = \left. {\int_0^{20} {\left( {\frac{{kx{y^2}}}{2}} \right)} } \right|_{20 - x}^{30 - x}dx &= \int_0^{20} {\left( {\frac{{kx{{(30 - x)}^2}}}{2} - \frac{{kx{{(20 - x)}^2}}}{2}} \right)} dx\\ = \int_0^{20} 2 50kx - 10k{x^2}dx &= \left. {\left( {125k{x^2} - \frac{{10}}{3}k{x^3}} \right)} \right|_0^{20}\\ &= 125k{(20)^2} - \frac{{10}}{3}k{(20)^3} = \frac{{70000}}{3}k\end{aligned}\)

Determine the integral of the joint pdf over the given region when \(20 \le x \le 30\)(which is then bounded by the top line and the x-axis):

04

Determine the integral of the joint pdf over the given region in part a.

\(\begin{aligned}\int_{20}^{30} {\int_0^{30 - x} f } (x,y)dydx &= \int_{20}^{30} {\int_0^{30 - x} k } xydydx\\ &= \left. {\int_{20}^{30} {\left( {\frac{{kx{y^2}}}{2}} \right)} } \right|_0^{30 - x}dx = \int_0^{20} {\frac{{kx{{(30 - x)}^2}}}{2}} dx\\ &= \int_{20}^{30} 4 50kx - 30k{x^2} + \frac{1}{2}k{x^3}dx = \left. {\left( {225k{x^2} - 10k{x^3} + \frac{1}{8}k{x^4}} \right)} \right|_{20}^{30}\\ &= 3750k\end{aligned}\)

The total integral of the joint pdf over the indicated region is then the sum of these two areas:

\(\frac{{70000}}{3}k + 3750k = \frac{{81250}}{3}k\)

The joint pdf is only a valid pdf if the total integral is equal to \(1\):

\(\frac{{81250}}{3}k = 1\)

Divide each side by \(\frac{{81250}}{3}\):

\(k = \frac{3}{{81250}}\)

Explanation for the determination of independency of event in part b.

(b) The marginal pdf of X is the integral of the joint pdf over all possible values of Y:

First let \(0 \le x \le 20\)(region is then bounded by the two straight lines):

\(\begin{aligned}{f_X}(x) &= \int_{20 - x}^{30 - x} f (x,y)dy &= \int_{20 - x}^{30 - x} k xydy\\ &= \left. {\left( {\frac{{kx{y^2}}}{2}} \right)} \right|_{20 - x}^{30 - x} = \left( {\frac{{kx{{(30 - x)}^2}}}{2} - \frac{{kx{{(20 - x)}^2}}}{2}} \right)\\ &= 250kx - 10k{x^2}\end{aligned}\)

Next let \(20 < x \le 30\)(region is then bounded by the top line and the $x$-axis):

\(\begin{array}{c}{f_X}(x) = \int_0^{30 - x} f (x,y)dy = \int_0^{30 - x} k = \left. {\left( {\frac{{kx{y^2}}}{2}} \right)} \right|_0^{30 - x}\\ = \frac{{kx{{(30 - x)}^2}}}{2}\\ = 450kx - 30k{x^2} + \frac{1}{2}k{x^3}\end{array}\)

06

Explanation for the determination of independency of event in part b.

Combining these results, we then obtain:

\(\begin{array}{l}{f_X}(x) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{250kx - 10k{x^2}}&{0 \le x \le 20}\\{450kx - 30k{x^2} + \frac{1}{2}k{x^3}}&{20 < x \le 30}\end{array}} \right.\\\end{array}\)

The marginal distribution of Y is the same as the marginal distribution of X, because the joint pdf does not change when you interchange x and y (neither does the region).

\({f_Y}(y) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{250ky - 10k{y^2}}&{0 \le y \le 20}\\{450ky - 30k{y^2} + \frac{1}{2}k{y^3}}&{20 < y \le 30}\end{array}} \right.\)

X and Y are not independent, because if you multiply the marginal distributions, then you do not obtain the joint pdf.

Calculation for the determination of the probability in part c.

(c) Determine the integral of the joint pdf over the given region when \(0 \le x \le 20\)(which is then bounded by two straight lines):

\(\begin{array}{c}P(X + Y \le 25\mid 0 \le X \le 20) = \int_0^{20} {\int_{20 - x}^{25 - x} f } (x,y)dydx\\ = \int_0^{20} {\int_{20 - x}^{25 - x} k } xydydx = \left. {\int_0^{20} {\left( {\frac{{kx{y^2}}}{2}} \right)} } \right|_{20 - x}^{25 - x}dx\\ = \int_0^{20} {\left( {\frac{{kx{{(25 - x)}^2}}}{2} - \frac{{kx{{(20 - x)}^2}}}{2}} \right)} dx\\ = \int_0^{20} {\frac{{225}}{2}} kx - 5k{x^2}dx = \left. {\left( {\frac{{225}}{4}k{x^2} - \frac{5}{3}k{x^3}} \right)} \right|_0^{20}\\ = 125k{(20)^2} - \frac{{10}}{3}k{(20)^3} = \frac{{27500}}{3}k\end{array}\)

Determine the integral of the joint pdf over the given region when \(20 \le x \le 30\)(which is then bounded by the top line and the x-axis):

08

Calculation for the determination of the probability in part c.      

\(\)\(\begin{array}{c}P(X + Y \le 25\mid 20 < X \le 30) = \int_{20}^{25} {\int_0^{25 - x} f } (x,y)dydx\\ = \int_{20}^{25} {\int_0^{25 - x} k } xydydx = \left. {\int_{20}^{25} {\left( {\frac{{kx{y^2}}}{2}} \right)} } \right|_0^{25 - x}dx\\ = \int_0^{25} {\frac{{kx{{(25 - x)}^2}}}{2}} dx = \int_{20}^{25} {\frac{{625}}{2}} kx - 25k{x^2} + \frac{1}{2}k{x^3}dx\\ = \left. {\left( {\frac{{625}}{4}k{x^2} - \frac{{25}}{3}k{x^3} + \frac{1}{8}k{x^4}} \right)} \right|_{20}^{25} = \frac{{10625}}{{24}}k\end{array}\)

The total probability is then the sum of the two probabilities:

\(P(X + Y \le 25) = \frac{{27500}}{3}k + \frac{{10625}}{{24}}k = \frac{{76875}}{8}k = \frac{{76875}}{8}\frac{3}{{81250}} = \frac{{369}}{{1040}} \approx 0.3548 = 35.48\% \)

09

Calculation for finding the expected total amount of this grain in part d.

(d) The total amount is X+Y.

The expected value of X+Y is then integral of the product of all possible values \((x + y)\)and the joint pdf.

Determine the integral of the joint pdf over the given region when \(0 \le x \le 20\)(which is then bounded by the two straight lines):

\(\begin{array}{c}\int_0^{20} {\int_{20 - x}^{30 - x} {(x + y)} } f(x,y)dydx = \int_0^{20} {\int_{20 - x}^{30 - x} k } {x^2}y + kx{y^2}dydx\\ = \left. {\int_0^{20} {\left( {\frac{{k{x^2}{y^2}}}{2} + \frac{{kx{y^3}}}{3}} \right)} } \right|_{20 - x}^{30 - x}dx\\ = \int_0^{20} {\left( {\frac{{k{x^2}{{(30 - x)}^2}}}{2} + \frac{{kx{{(30 - x)}^3}}}{3} - \frac{{k{x^2}{{(20 - x)}^2}}}{2} - \frac{{kx{{(20 - x)}^3}}}{3}} \right)} dx\\ = \int_0^{20} {\frac{{19000}}{3}} kx - 250k{x^2}dx = \left. {\left( {\frac{{19000}}{6}k{x^2} - \frac{{250}}{3}k{x^3}} \right)} \right|_0^{20}\\ = 125k{(20)^2} - \frac{{10}}{3}k{(20)^3} = 600000k\end{array}\)

10

Calculation for finding the expected total amount of this grain in part d.

Determine the integral of the joint pdf over the given region when \(20 \le x \le 30\)(which is then bounded by the top line and the $x$-axis):

\(\begin{array}{c}\int_{20}^{30} {\int_0^{30 - x} {(x + y)} } f(x,y)dydx = \int_{20}^{30} {\int_0^{30 - x} k } {x^2}y + kx{y^2}dydx\\ = \left. {\int_{20}^{30} {\left( {\frac{{k{x^2}{y^2}}}{2} + \frac{{kx{y^3}}}{3}} \right)} } \right|_0^{30 - x}dx = \int_0^{20} {\frac{{k{x^2}{{(30 - x)}^2}}}{2}} + \frac{{kx{{(30 - x)}^3}}}{3}dx\\ = \int_{20}^{30} 9 000kx - 450k{x^2} + \frac{1}{6}k{x^4}dx = \left. {\left( {4500k{x^2} - 150k{x^3} + \frac{1}{{30}}k{x^5}} \right)} \right|_{20}^{30}\\ = \frac{{310000}}{3}k\end{array}\)

The expected total amount is then the sum of these two expected values:

\(E(X + Y) = 600000k + \frac{{310000}}{3}k = \frac{{2110000}}{3}k = \frac{{2110000}}{3}\frac{3}{{81250}} = \frac{{1688}}{{65}} \approx 25.9692\)

11

Calculation for determining the following expected values in part e.

(e) Determine the following expected values in a similar manner as in part (a):

MEAN

\(\begin{array}{c}{\mu _X} = E(X) = \int_0^{30} x {f_X}(x)dx\\ = \int_0^{20} 2 50k{x^2} - 10k{x^3}dx + \int_{20}^{30} 4 50k{x^2} - 30k{x^3}\\ = \frac{{800000}}{3}k + 85000k = \frac{{1055000}}{3}k\\{\mu _Y} = E(Y) = E(X) = \frac{{1055000}}{3}k\end{array}\)

EXPECTED VALUE OF XY

\(\begin{array}{c}E(XY) = \int_0^{20} {\int_{20 - x}^{30 - x} x } yf(x,y)dydx + \int_{20}^{30} {\int_0^{30 - x} x } yf(x,y)dydx\\ = \int_0^{20} {\int_{20 - x}^{30 - x} k } {x^2}{y^2}dydx + \int_{20}^{30} {\int_0^{30 - x} k } {x^2}{y^2}dydx\\ = \frac{{29600000k}}{9} + \frac{{3650000k}}{9}\\ = \frac{{33250000k}}{9}\end{array}\)

12

Calculation for determining the following expected values in part e.

VARIANCE

\(\begin{array}{c}\sigma _X^2 = E\left( {{{\left( {X - {\mu _X}} \right)}^2}} \right) = \int_0^{30} {{{\left( {x - \frac{{1055000}}{3}k} \right)}^2}} {f_X}(x)dx\\ = \int_0^{20} {{{\left( {x - \frac{{1055000}}{3}k} \right)}^2}} \left( {250kx - 10k{x^2}} \right)dx + \int_{20}^{30} {{{\left( {x - \frac{{1055000}}{3}k} \right)}^2}} \left( {450kx - 30k{x^2} + \frac{1}{2}k{x^3}} \right)dx\\ = \frac{{400000}}{{27}}k\left( {243 - 12660000k + 194779375000{k^2}} \right) + \frac{{25000}}{3}k\left( {233 - 7174000k + 55651250000{k^2}} \right)\\ = \frac{{16625000k}}{3} - \frac{{2226050000000{k^2}}}{9} + \frac{{90433281250000000{k^3}}}{{27}}\\\sigma _Y^2 = \sigma _X^2 = \frac{{16625000k}}{3} - \frac{{2226050000000{k^2}}}{9} + \frac{{90433281250000000{k^3}}}{{27}}\end{array}\)

The covariance is the expected value of X Y decreased by the product of the two means:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\mathop{\rm Cov}\nolimits} (X,Y) = E(XY) - {\mu _X}{\mu _Y} = \frac{{33250000k}}{9} - \frac{{1055000}}{3}\frac{{1055000}}{3}{k^2}\\ = \frac{{33250000}}{9}\frac{3}{{81250}} - \frac{{1055000}}{3}\frac{{1055000}}{3}\frac{{{3^2}}}{{{{81250}^2}}}\\ = - \frac{{408008}}{{12675}} \approx - 32.1900\end{array}\)

13

Calculation for determining the following expected values in part e.

The correlation is the covariance divided by the product of the standard deviations. The standard deviations are the square root of the variances:\(\begin{array}{c}{\mathop{\rm Corr}\nolimits} (X,Y) = \frac{{{\mathop{\rm Cov}\nolimits} (X,Y)}}{{{\sigma _X}{\sigma _Y}}} = \frac{{ - \frac{{408008}}{{12675}}}}{{\frac{{16625000k}}{3} - \frac{{2226050000000{k^2}}}{9} + \frac{{90433281250000000{k^3}}}{{27}}}}\\ = \frac{{\frac{{16625000}}{3}\frac{3}{{81250}} - \frac{{2226050000000}}{9}\frac{{{3^2}}}{{{{81250}^2}}} + \frac{{90433281250000000}}{{27}}\frac{{{3^3}}}{{{{81250}^3}}}}}{9}\\ = - \frac{{102002}}{{114123}} \approx - 0.8938\end{array}\)

Note: The results of part (e) deviate from the result in the back of the book.

14

Calculation for determining the variance in part f.

(f) The variance is the expected value of the deviation of the mean. The mean was determined in part (d). This expected value can be determined similarly:

\(\begin{array}{c}{\mathop{\rm Var}\nolimits} (X + Y) = \int_0^{20} {\int_{20 - x}^{30 - x} {{{(x + y - 25.9692)}^2}} } f(x,y)dydx + \int_{20}^{30} {\int_0^{30 - x} {{{(x + y - 25.9692)}^2}} } f(x,y)dydx\\ = \int_0^{20} {\int_{20 - x}^{30 - x} {{{(x + y - 25.9692)}^2}} } kxydydx + \int_{20}^{30} {\int_0^{30 - x} {{{(x + y - 25.9692)}^2}} } kxydydx \approx 184056k + 23141k\\ = 207197k = 207197\frac{3}{{81250}} = \frac{{621591}}{{81250}} \approx 7.6504\end{array}\)

According to the article 鈥淩eliability Evaluation of Hard Disk Drive Failures Based on Counting Processes鈥 (Reliability Engr. and System Safety,\({\bf{2013}}:{\rm{ }}{\bf{110}}--{\bf{118}}\)), particles accumulating on a disk drive come from two sources, one external and the other internal. The article proposed a model in which the internal source contains a number of loose particles W having a Poisson distribution with mean value of m; when a loose particle releases, it immediately enters the drive, and the release times are independent and identically distributed with cumulative distribution function G(t). Let X denote the number of loose particles not yet released at a particular time t. Show that X has a Poisson distribution with parameter\(\mu \left( {1 - G\left( t \right)} \right)\). (Hint: Let Y denote the number of particles accumulated on the drive from the internal source by time t so that\(X + Y = W\). Obtain an expression for\(P\left( {X = x, Y = y} \right)\)and then sum over y.)
