Statisticians frequently use the extreme extreme value distribution given by the cdf
Let
(a) Show that the distribution of Y is exponential when
(b) Find the cdf and the
(c) Let
(d) As suggested by its name, the extreme value distribution can be used to model the longest home run, the deepest mine, the greatest flood, and so on. Suppose the length X (in feet) of the maximum of someone’s home runs was modeled by an extreme value distribution with
What is the probability that X exceeds 500 feet?

- f(x), a continuous probability function, is equal to 1 , and the function is restricted to 0 ≤ x ≤ 12. What is P (0 < x <12)?arrow_forwardIn this question you are required to examine distribution at X(0) and x(1/8fo) x(0) ∈{0,-1 ,1} X(1/8fo)∈{1/(√2), -1/(√2)} Show that is not strict sense stationaryarrow_forwardConsider a function F (x ) = 0, if x < 0 F (x ) = 1 − e^(−x) , if x ≥ 0 Is the corresponding random variable continuous?arrow_forward
- If F(x1, x2, x3) is the value of the joint distribution function of X1, X2, and X3 at (x1, x2, x3), show that the joint marginal distribution function of X1 and X3 is given by M(x1, x3) = F(x1, q, x3) for −q < x1 < q, −q < x3 < q and that the marginal distribution function of X1 is given by G(x1) = F(x1, q, q) for −q < x1 < q With reference to Example 19, use these results to find (a) the joint marginal distribution function of X1 and X3; (b) the marginal distribution function of X1.arrow_forwardLetX1,X2,...,Xn be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables having the Exponential(λ) distribution,λ >0, fXi(x) ={λe−λx, x >0 0, otherwise Define the random variable Y=X1+X2+···+Xn. Find E(Y),Var(Y)and the moment generating function ofY.arrow_forwardFor which of the following situations would the central limit theorem not imply that the sample distribution for ?¯x¯ is approximately Normal? a population is Normal, and we use samples of size ?=6n=6 . a population is Normal, and we use samples of size ?=50n=50 . a population is not Normal, and we use samples of size ?=50n=50 . a population is not Normal, and we use samples of size ?=6n=6 .arrow_forward
- Let X be a r.v. such that E(X2k) = (2k)!/k! , E(X2k+1)=0 . Find the mgf of X and also its ch.f . Then deduce the distribution of X.arrow_forwardLet X denote the temperature at which a certain chemical reaction takes place. Suppose that X has pdf f(x)={1/9(4-x^2) -1<=x<=2 0 otherwise a) Compute P(0≤ X ≤1)b) Obtain E(x) and Variance of Xarrow_forwardThe distribution of the random variable X is determined by the function: f(x) = ((x-1)2)/c ; for 1<x<3 = 0 ; inak Sketch the graph of f(x) Determine the FY(y) and fY(y) for Y = X^2 - 1arrow_forward
