An ecologist wishes to select a point inside a circular sampling region according to a uniform distribution (in practice this could be done by first selecting adirection and then a distance from the center in that direction). Let X = the x coordinate of the point selected and Y = the y coordinate of the point selected. Ifthe circle is centered at (0, 0) and has radius R, then the joint pdf of X and Y is given below.1F(x, y) =x2 + y2 s R2otherwise(a) What is the probability that the selected point is within of the center of the circular region? [Hint: Draw a picture of the region of positive density D.Because f(x, y) is constant on D, computing a probability reduces to computing an area.](b) What is the probability that both X and Y differ from 0 by at most ?R(c) What is the probability that both X and Y differ from 0 by at most(d) What is the marginal pdf of X?fxx) =What is the marginal pdf of Y?fkv) =Are X and Y independent?

For a certain psychiatric clinic suppose that the random variable X represents the total time (in minutes) that a typical patient spends in this clinic during a typical visit (where this total time is the sum of the waiting time and the treatment time), and that the random variable Y represents the waiting time (in minutes) that a typical patient spends in the waiting room before starting treatment with a psychiatrist. Further, suppose that X and Y can be assumed to follow the bivariate density function fXY(x,y)=λ2e−λx, 0<y<x, where λ > 0 is a known parameter value. (a) Find the marginal density fX(x) for the total amount of time spent at the clinic. (b) Find the conditional density for waiting time, given the total time.

For small sample sizes, the density curve of the t-distribution is not symmetric, but the density curve of the z-distribution is symmetric. B. For large sample sizes, the density curve of the t-distribution is not symmetric, but the density curve of the z-distribution is symmetric. C.
