4. Uniform Stick-Breaking A point X is chosen uniformly from the interval (0, 10) and then a point Y is chosen uniformly from the interval (0, X). This can be imagined as snapping a stick of length 10 and then snapping one of the broken bits. Such processes are called stick-breaking processes. a) Find E(X) and Var(X). See Section 15.3 of the textbook for the variance of the uniform. b) Find E(Y) and Var(Y) by conditioning on X. Uniform (a,...
