You have a ruler of length 1 and you choose a place to break it using a uniform probability distribution. Let random variable X

represent the length of the left piece of the ruler. X is distributed uniformly in [0, 1]. You take the left piece of the ruler and once again choose a place to break it using a uniform probability distribution. Let random variable Y be the length of the left piece from the second break. (a) Find the conditional expectation of Y given X, E(Y\X). (b) Find the unconditional expectation of Y. One way to do this is to apply the law of iterated expectation which states that E(Y) = E(E(Y\X)). The inner expectation is the conditional expectation computed above, which is a function of X. The outer expectation finds the expected value of this function. (c) Compute E(XY). This means that E(XY\X) = XE(Y\X) (d) Using the previous results, compute cov(X, Y).

The function g(x) = p sin x +q, where p>0, has a maximum value of 10 and a minimum value of -4. Find the value of p and of q.
tester [92]

Answer: p=7, q=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The midline of the function is

\frac{10-4}{2}=3 \implies q=3

This means that to obtain a maximum of 10, when \sin x reaches it's maximum, 1, g(x)=p+q=10 \implies p=7
