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).
