f(x,y)=30(1-y)^2*x*e^(-x/y). x>0. 0<y<1.
a). show that f(y) the marginal density function of Y is a Beta random variable with parameters alfa=3 and Beta=3.
b). show that f(x|y) the conditional density function of X given Y=y is a Gamma random variable with parameters alfa=2 and beta=y.
c). set up how would you find P(1<X<3|Y=.5). you do not have to do any calculations
Answer a:
Y is a Beta Random variable with parameters alpha=3 and Beta=3
Answer b:
Conditional Density function of X given Y=y, follows gamma distribution with alpha=3 and beta=y
Answer c:
The value of the integrand to be calculated is shown in the answer.
