- The lifetimes X and Y of two components in a machine have the joint density function f(x, y) = (1/4)*(2y + 2 − x) for 0 < x < 2, 0 < y < 1 and f(x, y) = 0 otherwise. (a) What is the probability density of the time until neither of two components is still working? (b) What is the probability distribution of the amount of time that the lifetime X survives the lifetime Y?

- While taking a walk along the road where you live, you accidentally drop your glove, but you don't know where. The probability density p(x) for having dropped the glove x kilometers from home (along the road) is p(x)=7e−7x for x≥0 At what distance y from home is the probability that you dropped it within y km of home equal to 0.95?arrow_forwardf (x, y) =(x+y)/(1(1 + 2)) is a joint probability density function over the range 0 < x < 1 and 0 < y < 2. Find V (X). Please report your answer to 3 decimal places.arrow_forwardThe probability density function of the time to failure of an electronic component in a copier (in hours) is f(x) = (e-x/1000 )/1000 for x > 0. Determine the the number of hours at which 12% of all components have failed. Please enter the answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forward
