x
\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{l}
N-r \\
n-x
\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{l}

Integrate depends on x and apply the limit values in given function

\(\int_{27}^{33} c d x-27 \int_{27}^{33} \frac{c}{x} d x\)= 1

6c − 27c (ln(33)−3ln(3)) = 1

6c − 5.4181c = 1

c = \(\frac{1}{0.5819}\)

\(\int_0^{40} \int_0^2 c(4 x+2 y+1) d x d y\) = 1

 

Integrate depends on y and apply the limit values in given function

\(c \int_0^{40}\left(4 x y+2 \frac{y^2}{2}+y\right)_0^2 d x\) = 1

 

\(c \int_0^{40}\left(4 x(2)+(2)^2+2\right) d x=\) 1

 

Integrate depends on x and apply the limit values in given function,

\(c \int_0^{40}(8 x+6) d x\)= 1

\(c\left(\frac{8 x^2}{2}+6 x\right)_0^{40}\)= 1

\(c\left(\frac{8(40)^2}{2}+6(40)\right)\)= 1

6640c  = 1

c = \(\frac{1}{6640}\)

Therefore, the given function fXY (x,y)=c(4x+2y+1) and the value of c is \(\frac{1}{6640}\)= 1

 

Page 170  Exercise 7  Problem 17

To solve this, we need to integrate the PDF where X and Y defined as follow.

P(x > 20,y ≥ 1) = 1 \(\int_1^2 \int_{20}^{40} \frac{1}{6640}(4 x+2 y+1) d x d y\)

P(x > 20,y ≥ 1)  =  \(\frac{1}{6640} \int_1^2\left(\frac{4 x^2}{2}+2 y x+x\right) \int_{20}^{40} d y\)

P(x > 20,y ≥ 1)  = \(\frac{1}{6640} \int_1^2(40 y+2420) d y\)

P(x > 20,y ≥ 1)  = \(\frac{1}{6640} \int_1^2(40 y+2420) d y\)

P(x > 20,y ≥ 1)  = \(=\frac{1}{6640}(2480)\)

P(x > 20,y ≥ 1)  = \(\frac{38}{83}\)

The probability of temperature is P(x > 20,y ≥ 1) =\(\frac{38}{83}\)

To find P(X ≤ 0.5 and Y ≤ 0.25)

We can get the probability by integrating it on the following regions

0 < y ≤ 0.25

0.25≤ x < 0.5

Thus, we get that

P(X ≤ 0.5 and Y ≤ 0.25) = \(\int_{0.25}^{0.5} \int_0^{0.25} \frac{1}{x} d y d x\)

P(X ≤ 0.5 and Y ≤ 0.25)  = \(\left.\int_{0.25}^{0.5}\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)\right|_0 ^{0.25} d x\)

P(X ≤ 0.5 and Y ≤ 0.25)  = \(\left.0.25[\ln (x)]\right|_0 ^{0.25}\)

P(X ≤ 0.5 and Y ≤ 0.25)  = 0.25 [(ln(0.5)] − [ln(0.25)]

P(X ≤ 0.5 and Y ≤ 0.25)  = 0.1733

Hence, we have found the answer for P(X ≤ 0.5and Y ≤ 0.25) = 0.1733

To find the marginal densities for X and Y.

\(f_{X, Y}(x, y) = \frac{x^2 y^2}{16}, 0 \leq x, y \leq 2\)

 

To calculate the marginal density for X, by definition, we have to calculate the integral

\(\left.f_X(x)=\int \mathbb{r} f_{(} X, Y\right)(x, y) d y\)

 

By plugging in the values where y is defined and the expression for joint density function, we obtain.

\(f_X(x)=\int_0^2 \frac{x^3 y^3}{16} d y=\frac{x^3}{64}(16-0)=\frac{x^3}{4}\), 0 ≤ x ≤ 2

To calculate the marginal density for Y, by definition, we have to calculate the integral

By plugging in the values where y is defined and the expression for joint density function, we obtain.

\(f_X(x)=\int_0^2 \frac{x^3 y^3}{16} d y\)

\(=\frac{x^3}{64}(16-0)\)

\(=\frac{x^3}{4}\), 0 ≤ x ≤ 2

\(\frac{x^3}{4}\) 0 ≤ x ≤ 2

\(\frac{x^3}{4}\) 0 ≤ x ≤ 2

⇒ \(f_Y(y)=\frac{y^3}{4}, 0 \leq y \leq 2\)

By substituting the calculated expression , we obtain

\(f_{X, Y}(x, y)=\frac{x^3 y^3}{16}=\frac{x^3}{4} \frac{y^3}{4}=f_X(x) f_Y(y)\)

 

Hence X and Y are indeed independent.

Hence X and Y are indeed independent.

To find P(X ≤ 1)

To find the probability P(X≤1), by definition, we have to calculate integral

P(X≤1) \(=\int_{-\infty}^1 f_X(x) d x\)

By substituting the given expression for the marginal density function and the values where x is defined, we proceed to calculate

P(X ≤ 1) \(\left.=\int_0^{\frac{x 3}{4}} d x=\frac{1}{16}-(1-0)=\frac{(}{1}\right)(16)\)

Therefore, the joint density for (X,Y) is given by \(\frac{1}{6}\)

\(=\int_{20}^{40} \int_{20}^y c d x d y\)

\(=c \int_{20}^{40}(y-20) d y\)

\(=\left.c\left(\frac{y^2}{2}-20 y\right)\right|_{20} ^{40}\)

= c (200)

To find the probability that the price paid by the refinery exceeds that of the carrier by at least $10 per barrel.

We can express the problem

P(Y > X + 10)

Now if we graph the domain, we get

Introduction to Probability and Statistics Principles and Applications Chapter 5 Joint Distributions Page 171 Exercise 10 Problem 25 Domain

 

Where

Point A = (20,40)

Point B = (30,40)

Point C = (20,30)

CB  = y − 10

By integrating the PDF

​P(Y>X+10)= \(\int_{30}^{40} \int_{25}^y \frac{1}{200} d x d y\)

\(=\left.\frac{1}{200} \int_{30}^{40}(x)\right|_{20} ^{y-10} d y\)

 

\(=\frac{1}{200} \int_{30}^{40}(y-10-20) d y\)

 

\(=\frac{1}{200} \int_{30}^{40}(y-30) d y\)

 

\(=\left.\frac{1}{200}\left(\frac{y^2}{2}-30 y\right)\right|_{30} ^{40}\)

 

= \(\frac{50}{200}\)

 

= 0.25

The probablity is P(Y > X + 10) = 0.25

From Continuous Joint density we get that the three properties and identify a function as a density (X1,X2,X3,….. .Xn) f X1, X2, X3 ,. ….. Xn(x1,x2,x3, ….. .x1 )≥0]−∞<Xi< ∞

For all Xi where i is from 1 to n

\(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \cdots \cdots \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\) f X1, X2, X3 ,…… X1 (x1 ,x2,x3,……x1 ) dx1 dx2 dx3……..

P[a ≤ X1 ≤ b,c ≤ X ≤ d,e ≤ X3 ≤ f,…..,g ≤ X1 ≤ h

\(\int_a^b \int_c^d \int_e^f \cdots \cdots \int_g^h\)  f X1, X2, X3 ,…… X(x1,x2,x3,……xn) dx1dx2 dx3 ………..;. Where a, b, c, …., h are real

Hence, a, b, c, …., h is called the joint density for (X1 ,X2,X3,…..,Xn)
