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 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?
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.
)on 4. Suppose X and y are continuous random variables with joint density funstion the unit square [0, 1] x [0, 1]. (a) Let F(r,y) be the joint CDF. Compute F(1/2, 1/2). Compute F(z,y). (b) Compute the marginal densities for X and Y (c) Are X and Y independent? (d) Compute E(X), E(Y), Cov(X,y)
Exercise about two-dimensional random variables, independence and covariation: Suppose, two-dimensional random variable (X, Y) has probability density function as follows: 0y1 + f(x, y) 2xy) ,0 <x<1, otherwise 0 Find c Find marginal probability density functions of X and Y-find f(x) and f(y) and find if X and Y are independent; Find joint (X, Y) distribution function; Find covariation of X and Y find Cov(X, Y) and correlation p(X, Y). What can be concluded? Suppose, two-dimensional random variable (X, Y)...
Suppose that a point is chosen at random on a stick of unit length and that the stick is broken the two shorter sides of a right-angled triangle. Let Θ be the smallest angle in this triangle. Define Y-tan Θ and W-cot Θ. Find E(Y) and the pd.f of W
We said in class that two events A and B are indep(ndent if μ(An B) 6. μ(A)a(B). Sinilarly, two random variables X and Y are said to be independent if their joint density fx.y(r,y) can be expressed as the product of the marginal densities fx(x)fv(y). Let X and Y be independent (scalar) random variables, and ZX Y be a new random variable defined as the sum of X and Y. Show that the moment generating function mz(t) of Z is...

4. Two numbers, and y, are selected at random from the unit interval [0, 1. Find the probability that each of the three line segements so formed have length > . For example, if 0.3 and y0.6, the three line segements are (0,0.3), (0.3,0.6) and (0.6, 1.0). All three of these line segments have length >. HINT: you can solve this problem geometrically. Draw a graph of and y, with x on the horizontal axis and y on the vertical...
