- Find the conditional expectation E(Y/X=0.47) if the joint probability density function of the random variable X and Y isf(x, y) = 1/x, 0 < y ≤ x ≤ 1.arrow_forwardThe density for the random variable X, the number of people per day who sought unnecessary treatment in a small hospital emergency department, is given by: x 0 1 2 3 4 5 f(x) 0.01 010 0.30 0.40 0.10 0.09 Find: P(X>4)=?P(0<X≤3)=?P(X≤2)=?arrow_forwardLet X denote the reaction time, in seconds, to a certain stimulus and Y denote the temperature (◦F) at which a certain reaction starts to take place. Suppose that two random variables X and Y have the joint densityarrow_forward
