A log-uniform probability distribution p(x) is one that makes the log of x uniformly distributed over some interval from x = a to x = b and is zero elsewhere. Determine p(x) in terms of a and b. Make sure it is normalized. Must derive what log is.

If x is uniformly distributed over the interval 8 to 12, inclusively (8 ≤ x ≤ 12), then the probability, P(10.0 ≤ x ≤ 11.5), is _____________ . Select one: a. 0.500 b. 0.250 c. 0.375 d. 0.333 e. 0.750
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,...
