An environment engineer measures the amount ( by weight) of particulate pollution in air samples ( of a certain volume ) collect
ed over the smokestack of a coal-operated power plant. Let X1 denote the amount of pollutant per sample when a certain cleaning device on the stack is not operating, and let X2 denote the amount of pollutant per sample when the cleaning device is operating under similar environmental conditions. It is observed that X1 is always greater than 2X2, and the relative frequency behavior of (X1, X2) can be modeled by f(x,y)= k for 0 <= x <= 2, 0<=y <=1 , 2y<= x and 0 elsewhere
(X and Y are randomly distriibutied over the region inside the tricanle bounded by x=2, y=0 and 2y=x)
a. Find the value of k that makes this a probability desnsity function.
b. Find P >= 3y
To find the percentage of something you simply divide the amounts. 17 of the 24 books were mystery so to find the percentage of mystery books you do 17 divided by 24
