Let X be a exponential random variable with pdf f(x) = λe−λx for x > 0,...

Let X be a exponential random variable with pdf f(x) = λe−λx for x > 0, and cumulative distribution function F(x). (a) Show that F(x) = 1−e −λx for x > 0, and show that this function satisfies the requirements of a cdf (state what these are, and show that they are met). [4 marks] (b) Draw f(x) and F(x) in separate graphs. Define, and identify F(x) in the graph of f(x), and vice versa. [Hint: write the mathematical relationships,...

2. Let X be exponential with rate lambda. What is the pdf of Y = X^0.5?...

2. Let X be exponential with rate lambda. What is the pdf of Y = X^0.5? How about Y = X^3? Contrast the complexity of this result to transformation of a discrete random variable.

A random variable (RV), x is distributed with a pdf as follows: fX(x) = [C × x × (1 – x)] 0 ≤ x ≤ a (C and a are constants) = 0 otherwise Hence, determine the following: (i) C; (ii) cumulative probability of x in the range, [(u × a) ≤ x ≤ (v × a)]; where u and v are fractions; (iii) E[x]; (iv) second moment of x ; and, (v) standard deviation of x. Assume:...

Let X and Y be independent Exponential random variables with common mean 1. Their joint pdf is f(x,y) = exp (-x-y) for x > 0 and y > 0 , f(x, y ) = 0 otherwise. (See "Independence" on page 349) Let U = min(X, Y) and V = max (X, Y). The joint pdf of U and V is f(u, v) = 2 exp (-u-v) for 0 < u < v < infinity, f(u, v ) = 0 otherwise....
