A piece of lumber of fixed length L is broken into two sub-pieces at position X ~ U(0, L). Let Y denote the length of the shorter sub-piece. a) Find the cumulative distribution function of Y. Hint: First express Y as a piecewise function in terms of X. b) Find the probability distribution function of Y. Identify the name of the distribution that Y follows. Also, write down the parameter value(s) of this distribution.
A stick of length one is broken into two pieces at a random point. What is the probability that the length of the longer piece will be at least three times the length of the shorter piece?
1. (a) A point is selected at random on the unit interval, dividing it into two pieces with total length 1. Find the probability that the ratio of the length of the shorter piece to the length of the longer piece is less than 1/4. 3 marks (b) Suppose X1 and X2 are two iid normal N(μ, σ*) variables.

Suppose that a point is chosen at random on a stick of unit length and that the stick is broken into two pieces at that point. Then, we form a right angle with two pieces of stick, forming the two shorter sides of a right-angled triangle. Let Θ be the smallest angle in this triangle. Define Y = tanΘ and W = cotΘ. Find E(Y ) and the p.d.f of W.

about something, ask! Part .Do any eight (8) of 1-9 1. Two numbers are chosen at random in succession, with replacement, from the set 1, 2, 3, , 100J. What is the probability that the first one is larger than the second one? [15) 2. In a set of dominoes, each piece is marked with two numbers, one on each end. The pieces are symmetrical, so that the two numbers are unordered. (That is, you can't tell (1,4) and (4,1)...
Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
