1. Let X1, X2 be i.i.d with this distribution: f(x) = 3e cx, x ≥ 0 a. Find the value of c
b. Recognize this as a famous distribution that we’ve learned in class. Using your knowledge of this distribution, find the t such that P(X1 > t) = 0.98.
c. Let M = max(X1, X2). Find P(M < 10)
a.
For valid PDF,
For c < 0,
c = -3
b.
The distribution function is,
which is an exponential distribution with rate parameter = 3
P(X1 > t) = 0.98.
3t = ln(0.98)
t = 0.00673
c.
CDF of M is,
X1, X2 are i.i.d .
(Using CDF of exponential distribution)
= 1 * 1
= 1
