- What is the cdf of the given pdf functionarrow_forwardWhat is the Marginal PDF of f(x)=2? Is the event independent?arrow_forwardFrom a sack of fruit containing 3 oranges, 2 apples, and 3 bananas, a random sample of 5 pieces of fruit is selected. If X is the number of oranges and Y is the number of apples in the sample, the joint probability distribution of X and Y is given by the accompanying function. Determine the correlation coefficient between X and Y. What is PXY equal to?arrow_forward
- 1. Consider the Gaussian distribution N (m, σ2).(a) Show that the pdf integrates to 1.(b) Show that the mean is m and the variance is σ.arrow_forwardA continuous random variable X has a pdf of the form: f(x) = (824/9) x^2, for 0.01 < X < 0.32. Calculate the standard deviation (sigma) of X.arrow_forwardIf the probability density of X is given by f(x) =2x−3 for x > 10 elsewherecheck whether its mean and its variance exist.arrow_forward
- In which case are the mean and variance of the distribution correctly given for a distribution whose moment generating function is as follows?arrow_forwardFind the approximate mean and variance of Y = √X, where X is a randomvariable following a Poisson distribution.arrow_forwardSuppose that X has a lognormal distribution with parameters θ = 5 and ω2 = 9. Determine the following: a. P(X < 13,300)b. Value for x such that P(X ≤ x) = 0.95c. Mean and variance of Xarrow_forward
- Suppose that a study of a certain computer system reveals that the response time, in seconds, has an exponential distribution with density curve f(x) = (1/3)e(-x/3) for x > 0 and f(x) = 0 otherwise. What is the probability that response time exceeds 5 seconds? What is the probability that response time exceeds 10 seconds?arrow_forwardLet X be a random variable with mean μ and variance _2. Show that E[(X − b)2], as a function of b, is minimized when b = μ.arrow_forwardDerive the mean variance of Be(p) using the exponential family of densities.arrow_forward
