IF F(x, y) is the value of the joint distribution function of X and Y at (x, y), show that the marginal distribution function of X is given by G(x) = F(x, ∞) for - ∞ <x < ∞ Use this result to find the marginal distribution function of X for the random variable F(x, y) = { (1-e-x2 ) (1- e-y2) for x>0, y> 0 and 0 elsewhere
Determine the conditional probability distribution of Y given that X = 2. Where the joint probability density function is given by f(x,y)= 1 - (x + y) for 1 < x < 4 and 0 < y < 3.
Suppose that the joint density function of the random variables X and Y is f(x,y)=k(1+2y), if 1<x<13 and 0<y<1, and f(x,y)=0, otherwise. Show that the marginal distribution of X is g(x)=c, if 1<x<13, and g(x)=0 otherwise. Enter the value of c. Hint: Of course, first, you need to find the value of k. Round your answer to a number with two decimal digits after the decimal point. For example if your answer is 1/40, which is equal to 0.025, then you should enter 0.03. (Do NOT use decimal comma; 0,03 would be wrong.)
On a production line, parts are produced with a certain average size, but the exact size of each part varies due to the imprecision of the production process. Suppose that the difference between the size of the pieces produced (in millimeters) and the average size, which we will call production error, can be modeled as a continuous random variable X with a probability density function given by f(x) = 2, 5e^(-5|x|), for x E R (is in the image). Parts where the production error is less than -0.46 mm or greater than 0.46 mm should be discarded. Calculate (approximating to 4 decimal places): a) What is the proportion of parts that the company discards in its production process? b) What is the proportion of parts produced where the production error is positive? c) Knowing that for a given part the production error is positive, what is the probability of this part being discarded?

If the random variable T is the time to failure of a commercial product and the values of its probability den-sity and distribution function at time t are f(t) and F(t), then its failure rate at time t is given by f(t)1 − F(t). Thus, thefailure rate at time t is the probability density of failure attime t given that failure does not occur prior to time t.(a) Show that if T has an exponential distribution, thefailure rate is constant. (b) Show that if T has a Weibull distribution (see Exer-cise 23), the failure rate is given by αβt β−1.
A particular fast-food outlet is interested in the joint behavior of the random variable Y1, the total time between a customer’s arrival at the store and his leaving the service window, and let Y2, the time that the customer waits in line before reaching the service. Since Y1 contains the time a customer waits in line, we must have Y1 ≥ Y2. The relative frequency distribution of observed values of Y1 and Y2 can be modelled by the probability density function Find P(Y1 < 2, Y2 > 1). Find P(Y1 ≥ 2Y2). Find P( Y1 – Y2 ≥1). [Note Y1 -Y2 denote the time spent at the service window ] If a customer’s total waiting time service time is known to be more than 2 minutes, find the probability that the customer waited less than 1 minute to be served. Find E(Y1 – Y2). Find V(Y1 – Y2). Is it highly likely that a customer would spend more than 2 minutes at the service window? Find P( Y1 – Y2 < 0.5Y1)
Two random variables X and Y have a joint cumulative distribution function given by FXY(x, y) = 1/2 [u(x-2) + u(x-3)] {(1 – exp(-y/2)) u(y), then the marginal probability density function fx(x) is given by

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. (c) Find P (Y > 20 | X = x), the probability a patient waits more than 20 minutes if their total clinic visit is x minutes. (Hint: you will need to consider two cases, if x < 20 and if x ≥ 20.)
