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.
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.
(1 point) Two points are selected randomly on a line of length 16 so as to be on opposite sides of the midpoint of the line. In other words, the two points X and Y are independent random variables such that X is uniformly distriuted over [0,8) and Y is uniformly distributed over (8,16] Find the probability that the distance between the two points is greater than 6. P(|X – Y| > 6) =
(1 point) Two points are selected randomly on a line of length 10 so as to be on opposite sides of the midpoint of the line. In other words, the two points X and Y are independent random variables such that X is uniformly distributed over [0,5) and Y is uniformly distributed over (5, 10].
