Generated Graph

Solution by Steps

step 1

The joint probability density function is given by

f(x_1, x_2) = 8x_1x_2

for 0 < x_1 < x_2 < 1

step 2

We define the new variables

Y_1 = \frac{X_1}{X_2}

and

Y_2 = X_2

step 3

The transformation of variables leads to the Jacobian determinant, which is calculated as

J = \left| \frac{\partial (Y_1, Y_2)}{\partial (X_1, X_2)} \right|

step 4

The Jacobian is computed as

J = \left| \begin{array}{cc} \frac{1}{X_2} &amp; -\frac{X_1}{X_2^2} \\ 0 &amp; 1 \end{array} \right| = \frac{1}{X_2}

step 5

The joint density function of

Y_1

and

Y_2

is given by

g(y_1, y_2) = f(x_1, x_2) \cdot |J|

step 6

Substituting

x_1 = y_1 y_2

and

x_2 = y_2

into the joint density function gives

g(y_1, y_2) = 8(y_1 y_2)(y_2) \cdot \frac{1}{y_2} = 8y_1y_2

for 0 < y_1 < 1 and 0 < y_2 < 1

step 7

The marginal density function of

Y_1

is obtained by integrating out

Y_2

:

f_{Y_1}(y_1) = \int_0^1 g(y_1, y_2) \, dy_2 = \int_0^1 8y_1y_2 \, dy_2

step 8

Evaluating the integral gives

f_{Y_1}(y_1) = 8y_1 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 4y_1

for 0 < y_1 < 1

Answer

The probability density function of

Y_1 = \frac{X_1}{X_2}

is

f_{Y_1}(y_1) = 4y_1

for 0 < y_1 < 1 .

To find the marginal density

f_X(x)

, we integrate the joint density over

y

:

f_X(x) = \int_{x}^{\infty} f_{X, Y}(x, y) \, dy

step 3

Performing the integration:

f_X(x) = \int_{x}^{\infty} 15 e^{-2x - 3y} \, dy = 15 e^{-2x} \left[ -\frac{1}{3} e^{-3y} \right]_{y=x}^{y=\infty} = 5 e^{-5x}

for x > 0

step 4

To find the marginal density

f_Y(y)

, we integrate the joint density over

x

:

f_Y(y) = \int_{0}^{y} f_{X, Y}(x, y) \, dx

step 5

Performing the integration:

f_Y(y) = \int_{0}^{y} 15 e^{-2x - 3y} \, dx = 15 e^{-3y} \left[ -\frac{1}{2} e^{-2x} \right]_{x=0}^{x=y} = \frac{15}{2} e^{-3y} (1 - e^{-2y})

for y > 0

Answer

The marginal densities are

f_X(x) = 5 e^{-5x}

for x > 0 and

f_Y(y) = \frac{15}{2} e^{-3y} (1 - e^{-2y})

for y > 0 .

‖ step 4

Performing the integration gives:

f_Y(y) = 2 e^{-y} \int_{y}^{\infty} e^{-x} \, dx = 2 e^{-y} e^{-y} = 2 e^{-2y}

‖ step 5

Now substituting back into the conditional density formula:

f_{X \mid Y=y}(x) = \frac{2 e^{-x-y}}{2 e^{-2y}} = e^{y-x}

Conditional Probability Density Function

Explanation

The conditional density function is derived from the joint density function divided by the marginal density, providing the distribution of one variable given a specific value of another.

Are X and Y independent?

To determine whether the random variables

X

and

Y

are independent, we need to check if the joint probability density function

f_{X,Y}(x,y)

can be expressed as the product of the marginal probability density functions

f_X(x)

and

f_Y(y)

. Specifically,

X

and

Y

are independent if:

f_{X,Y}(x,y) = f_X(x) \cdot f_Y(y)

for all values of

x

and

y

in their respective ranges. Here are the steps you can follow: 1. Find the Marginal Densities: Calculate the marginal density functions

f_X(x)

and

f_Y(y)

by integrating the joint density function over the appropriate ranges:

f_X(x) = \int f_{X,Y}(x,y) \, dy

f_Y(y) = \int f_{X,Y}(x,y) \, dx

2. Check the Independence Condition: After obtaining

f_X(x)

and

f_Y(y)

, check if the product

f_X(x) \cdot f_Y(y)

equals

f_{X,Y}(x,y)

for all

x

and

y

. 3. Conclusion: If the equality holds for all

x

and

y

, then

X

and

Y

are independent. If not, they are dependent. If you have specific forms of the joint density function or the marginal densities, feel free to share them, and I can help you with the calculations!

Solution by Steps

For Question 7: Cov(6X, 3X)

step 1

The covariance of two scaled random variables can be calculated using the formula:

Cov(aX, bY) = ab \cdot Cov(X, Y)

. Here,

a = 6

and

b = 3

step 2

We know that

Cov(X, X) = Var(X) = 0.7

. Thus, we can substitute this into our formula:

Cov(6X, 3X) = 6 \cdot 3 \cdot Cov(X, X) = 18 \cdot 0.7

step 3

Calculating this gives us:

18 \cdot 0.7 = 12.6

For Question 8: Cov(2X + 3, Z)

step 1

The covariance of a constant and a random variable is zero, so we can ignore the constant 3:

Cov(2X + 3, Z) = Cov(2X, Z)

step 2

Using the scaling property of covariance:

Cov(aX, Y) = a \cdot Cov(X, Y)

, we have

Cov(2X, Z) = 2 \cdot Cov(X, Z)

step 3

We know that

Cov(X, Z) = 1.2

, so:

Cov(2X, Z) = 2 \cdot 1.2 = 2.4

For Question 9: Cov(2Y, 7X + 8Z)

step 1

We can use the linearity of covariance:

Cov(aY, bX + cZ) = a \cdot Cov(Y, bX) + a \cdot Cov(Y, cZ)

. Here,

a = 2

,

b = 7

, and

c = 8

step 2

Thus, we have:

Cov(2Y, 7X + 8Z) = 2 \cdot Cov(Y, 7X) + 2 \cdot Cov(Y, 8Z)

step 3

Using the scaling property again:

Cov(Y, 7X) = 7 \cdot Cov(Y, X)

and

Cov(Y, 8Z) = 8 \cdot Cov(Y, Z)

. Therefore, we have:

Cov(2Y, 7X + 8Z) = 2 \cdot (7 \cdot Cov(Y, X) + 8 \cdot Cov(Y, Z))

step 4

Substituting the known values:

Cov(Y, X) = 0.4

and

Cov(Y, Z) = 0.8

, we get:

Cov(2Y, 7X + 8Z) = 2 \cdot (7 \cdot 0.4 + 8 \cdot 0.8)

step 5

Calculating this gives:

Cov(2Y, 7X + 8Z) = 2 \cdot (2.8 + 6.4) = 2 \cdot 9.2 = 18.4

Solution by Steps

step 1

The variance of the random variable

W

when

X

Y

\mathrm{Var}(W) = 0.4^2 \mathrm{Var}(X) + 0.6^2 \mathrm{Var}(Y)

. Given

\mathrm{Var}(X) = 5.9

and

\mathrm{Var}(Y) = 7.2

, we have:

step 2

Substituting the values into the formula:

\mathrm{Var}(W) = 0.4^2 \times 5.9 + 0.6^2 \times 7.2 = 0.16 \times 5.9 + 0.36 \times 7.2

step 3

Calculating each term:

0.16 \times 5.9 = 0.944

and

0.36 \times 7.2 = 2.592

. Thus,

\mathrm{Var}(W) = 0.944 + 2.592 = 3.536

step 4

Rounding the answer to two decimal places, we find:

\mathrm{Var}(W) = 3.54

Answer

3.54

Solution by Steps

step 1

When considering the covariance

\operatorname{Cov}(X, Y) = -1.7

, the variance of

W

is calculated using the formula:

\mathrm{Var}(W) = 0.4^2 \mathrm{Var}(X) + 0.6^2 \mathrm{Var}(Y) + 2 \cdot 0.4 \cdot 0.6 \cdot \operatorname{Cov}(X, Y)

step 2

Substituting the values into the formula:

\mathrm{Var}(W) = 0.4^2 \times 5.9 + 0.6^2 \times 7.2 + 2 \cdot 0.4 \cdot 0.6 \cdot (-1.7)

step 3

We already calculated

0.4^2 \times 5.9 = 0.944

and

0.6^2 \times 7.2 = 2.592

. Now calculating the covariance term:

2 \cdot 0.4 \cdot 0.6 \cdot (-1.7) = -0.816

. Thus,

\mathrm{Var}(W) = 0.944 + 2.592 - 0.816 = 2.720

step 4

Rounding the answer to two decimal places, we find:

\mathrm{Var}(W) = 2.72

Solution by Steps

step 1

To find the variance of

X

, we first need

E[X^2] = \int_0^1 \int_0^1 x^2 f_{x,y}(x,y) \, dy \, dx

step 2

Evaluating the inner integral:

\int_0^1 (2 - x - y) \, dy = (2 - x)y - \frac{y^2}{2} \bigg|_0^1 = 2 - x - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} - x

step 3

Now substituting back into the outer integral:

E[X^2] = \int_0^1 x^2 \left( \frac{3}{2} - x \right) \, dx = \int_0^1 \left( \frac{3}{2}x^2 - x^3 \right) \, dx

step 4

Evaluating this integral:

\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{x^4}{4} \bigg|_0^1 = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4}

step 5

Now, using the variance formula

\text{Var}(X) = E[X^2] - (E[X])^2 = \frac{1}{4} - \left( \frac{5}{12} \right)^2 = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{25}{144} = \frac{36}{144} - \frac{25}{144} = \frac{11}{144}

\frac{11}{144}

Solution by Steps

step 1

To find the covariance of

X

and

Y

, we use the formula

\text{Cov}(X,Y) = E[XY] - E[X]E[Y]

step 2

First, we need to calculate

E[XY] = \int_0^1 \int_0^1 xy f_{x,y}(x,y) \, dy \, dx

step 3

Evaluating the inner integral:

\int_0^1 xy(2 - x - y) \, dy = x \left( 2y - xy - \frac{y^2}{2} \right) \bigg|_0^1 = x(2 - x - \frac{1}{2}) = x(1.5 - x)

step 4

Now substituting back into the outer integral:

E[XY] = \int_0^1 x(1.5 - x) \, dx = \int_0^1 (1.5x - x^2) \, dx

step 5

Evaluating this integral:

\frac{1.5x^2}{2} - \frac{x^3}{3} \bigg|_0^1 = \frac{1.5}{2} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{4} - \frac{4}{12} = \frac{9}{12} - \frac{4}{12} = \frac{5}{12}

step 6

Now, substituting

E[X] = \frac{5}{12}

and

E[Y] = \frac{5}{12}

into the covariance formula:

\text{Cov}(X,Y) = \frac{5}{12} - \left( \frac{5}{12} \right)^2 = \frac{5}{12} - \frac{25}{144} = \frac{60}{144} - \frac{25}{144} = \frac{35}{144}

Answer

\frac{35}{144}

Solution by Steps

step 1

To find the correlation of

X

and

Y

, we use the formula

\text{Corr}(X,Y) = \frac{\text{Cov}(X,Y)}{\sqrt{\text{Var}(X) \cdot \text{Var}(Y)}}

step 2

We already have

\text{Cov}(X,Y) = \frac{35}{144}

, and we need

\text{Var}(Y)

which is the same as

\text{Var}(X) = \frac{11}{144}

step 3

Now substituting into the correlation formula:

\text{Corr}(X,Y) = \frac{\frac{35}{144}}{\sqrt{\frac{11}{144} \cdot \frac{11}{144}}} = \frac{\frac{35}{144}}{\frac{11}{144}} = \frac{35}{11}

Answer

\frac{35}{11}

Key Concept
