A raptured pipe in a North Sea oil rig produces a circlar oil slick that is y meters thick at a distance x meters from the rapture. Turbulance makes it difficult to directly measure the the thickness of the slick at the source (where x=0), but for x >0, it is found that y= 0.5(x2+3x)/x3+x2+4x. Assuming the oil slick is continiously distributed, how thick would you expect it to be at the source?
A ruptured pipe produces a circular oil slick that is y meters thick at a distance x meters from the rupture. It is difficult to directly measure the thickness of the slick at the source (where x=0), but for x>0, it is found that y=0.5(x2+3x)/x3+x2+4x. assuming that the oil slick is continuously distributed, how thick would you expect it to be at the source?
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
