- a) Find the conditional probability density function under the condition A = {X> 1/8}.b) Find the domain of the function.arrow_forwardUsing the uniform probability density function shown in Figure, find the probability that the random variable X is between 1.0 and 1.9.arrow_forwardDo you dislike waiting in line? A supermarket chain has used computer simulation and information technology to reduce the average waiting time for customers at 2,300 stores. Using a new system, which allows the supermarket to better predict when shoppers will be checking out, the company was able to decrease average customer waiting time to just 23 seconds. (a) Assume that supermarket waiting times are exponentially distributed. Show the probability density function of waiting time at the supermarket. f(x) = , x ≥ 0 , elsewhere (b) What is the probability that a customer will have to wait between 30 and 45 seconds? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) What is the probability that a customer will have to wait more than 2 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)arrow_forward
- PROOF Let X and Y be continuous random variables with joint distribution function, F (x,y). Let g (X,Y) and h (X,Y) be functions of X and Y. PROVE E[cg(X,Y)] = cE[g(X,Y)]arrow_forwardProof Let X and Y be independent integrable random variables on a probability space and f be a nonnegative convex function. Show that E[f(X +Y)] ≥ E[f(X +EY)].arrow_forwardPROOF Let X and Y be continuous random variables with joint distribution function, F (x,y). Let g (X,Y) and h (X,Y) be functions of X and Y.

PROVE If X and Y are independent, then E[XY] = E[X] E[Y]arrow_forwardHow logistic regression maps all outcome to either 0 or 1? The equation for log-likelihood function (LLF) is : LLF = Σi( yi log( p( xi)) + (1 − yi) log(1 − p(xi))). How logistic regression uses this in maximum likelihood estimation?arrow_forwardLet ?(?) = ??2 for x = 1, 2, 3. Determine the constant c so that the function f(x) satisfies the conditions of being a probability mass function.arrow_forward
- The total number of hours, measured in units of 100 hours, that a family runs a vacuum cleaner over a period of one year is a continuous random variable X that has the density function shown below. Find the probability that over a period of one year, a family runs their vacuum cleaner (a) less than 120 hours; (b) between 55 and 85 hours. f(x) = x, 0<x<1 2−x, 1≤x<2 0, elsewhere A.) The probability the family runs the vacuum cleaner less than 120 hours is B.)

Determine the probability that(a) The customer arrives by 10:00 A.M. (Round your answer to one decimal place (e.g. 98.7))(b) The customer arrives between 8:19 A.M. and 8:31 A.M. (Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654))(c) Determine the time (in hours A.M. as decimal) at which the probability of an earlier arrival is 0.51. (Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76))(d) Determine the cumulative distribution function and use the cumulative distribution function to determine the probability that the customer arrives between 8:19 A.M. and 8:31 A.M. (Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654))(e) Determine the mean and (f) standard deviation of the number of minutes until the customer arrives. (Round your answers to one decimal place (e.g. 98.7))arrow_forwardProof. Let X be a random variable and let g(x) be a non-negative function. Then for r>0, P [g(X) ≥ r] ≤ Eg(X)/rarrow_forward
