Recall that X ∼ Exp(λ) if the probability density function of X is fX(x) = λe−λx for x ≥ 0. Let X1, . . . , Xn ∼ Exp(λ), where λ is an unknown parameter. Exponential random variables are often used to model the time between rare events, in which case λ is interpreted as the average number of events occurring per unit of time. Recall that X ~ Exp(A) if the probability density function of X is fx(x)-Ae-Az for...

In question 5, f(x) = λ*exp(-λx), for x greater or equal to 0, and zero otherwise. 9. Let X have an exponential distribution with λ = 1 (see Question 5), and let Y = log(X). Find the probability density function of Y. Where is the density non-zero? Note that in this course, log refers to the log base e, or natural log, often symbolized In. The distribution of Y is called the (standard) Gumbel, or extreme value distribution. 2

If T1 and T2 are independent exponential random variables, find the density function of R=T(2)-T(1). From Mathematical Statistics and Data Analysis by Rice, 3rd Edition, Question 79 from Chapter 3. The solution in the back of the book just says "Exponential (λ)".
