I'm going to assume the joint density function is

f_{X,Y}(x,y)=\begin{cases}\frac67(x^2+\frac{xy}2\right)&\text{for }0

a. In order for f_{X,Y} to be a proper probability density function, the integral over its support must be 1.

\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^1\frac67\left(x^2+\frac{xy}2\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\frac67\int_0^2\left(\frac13+\frac y4\right)\,\mathrm dy=1



b. You get the marginal density f_X by integrating the joint density over all possible values of Y:

f_X(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^2f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dy=\boxed{\begin{cases}\frac67(2x^2+x)&\text{for }0

c. We have

P(X>Y)=\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^xf_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=\int_0^1\frac{15}{14}x^3\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{\frac{15}{56}}

d. We have

\displaystyle P\left(X

and by definition of conditional probability,

P\left(Y>\dfrac12\mid X\frac12\text{ and }X

\displaystyle=\dfrac{28}5\int_{1/2}^2\int_0^{1/2}f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\boxed{\frac{69}{80}}

e. We can find the expectation of X using the marginal distribution found earlier.

E[X]=\displaystyle\int_0^1xf_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac67\int_0^1(2x^2+x)\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{\frac57}

f. This part is cut off, but if you're supposed to find the expectation of Y, there are several ways to do so.

  • Compute the marginal density of Y, then directly compute the expected value.

f_Y(y)=\displaystyle\int_0^1f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx=\begin{cases}\frac1{14}(4+3y)&\text{for }0

\implies E[Y]=\displaystyle\int_0^2yf_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy=\frac87

  • Compute the conditional density of Y given X=x, then use the law of total expectation.

f_{Y\mid X}(y\mid x)=\dfrac{f_{X,Y}(x,y)}{f_X(x)}=\begin{cases}\frac{2x+y}{4x+2}&\text{for }0

The law of total expectation says

E[Y]=E[E[Y\mid X]]

We have

E[Y\mid X=x]=\displaystyle\int_0^2yf_{Y\mid X}(y\mid x)\,\mathrm dy=\frac{6x+4}{6x+3}=1+\frac1{6x+3}

\implies E[Y\mid X]=1+\dfrac1{6X+3}

This random variable is undefined only when X=-\frac12 which is outside the support of f_X, so we have

E[Y]=E\left[1+\dfrac1{6X+3}\right]=\displaystyle\int_0^1\left(1+\frac1{6x+3}\right)f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac87

Can someone help me answer this please
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

N = 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be N

let's express the word sentence as a mathematical expression:

"a number multiplied by 2/5"

= "N" multiplied by 2/5

= N x (2/5)

= (2N/5) ------- (1)

"a number multiplied by 2/5 is 3/20" can be written as:

(2N/5)    =  3/20  (multiplying both sides by 5)

2N = (3/20) x 5

2N = 3/4      (divide both sides by 2)

N = (3/4) ÷ 2

N = (3/4) x (1/2)

N = 3/8

judy has a piece of wood that is 4 5/8 feet long. she cuts off 3 feet 6 inches of the wood for a project. how much wood, in feet
Svet_ta [14]

there are 12 inches in 1 foot, so 6 inches is really just half a foot, thus 3'6" is really just 3.5' or 3½ feet.

now, let's convert those mixed fractions to improper fractions and then subtract, bearing in mind our LCD will be 8.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{5}{8}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 8+5}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{45}{8}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{45}{8}-\cfrac{7}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 8}}{\cfrac{(1)45~~-~~(4)7}{8}}\implies \cfrac{45-28}{8}\implies \cfrac{17}{8}\implies 2\frac{1}{8}

Answer:

It should be neither

Step-by-step explanation:

x+7>12

x>12-7

x>5

Its not 3 or 4.. its 5 so its neither of 3 and 4..
