<em>Y</em>₁ and <em>Y</em>₂ are independent, so their joint density is

f_{Y_1,Y_2}(y_1,y_2)=f_{Y_1}(y_1)f_{Y_2}(y_2)=\begin{cases}\frac1{49}e^{-\frac{y_1+y_2}7}&\text{for }y_1\ge0,y_2\ge0\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

By definition of conditional probability,

P(<em>Y</em>₁ > <em>Y</em>₂ | <em>Y</em>₁ < 2 <em>Y</em>₂) = P((<em>Y</em>₁ > <em>Y</em>₂) and (<em>Y</em>₁ < 2 <em>Y</em>₂)) / P(<em>Y</em>₁ < 2 <em>Y</em>₂)

Use the joint density to compute the component probabilities:

• numerator:

P((Y_1>Y_2)\text{ and }(Y_1

=\displaystyle\frac1{49}\int_0^\infty\int_{\frac{y_1}2}^{y_1}e^{-\frac{y_1+y_2}7}\,\mathrm dy_2\,\mathrm dy_1

=\displaystyle-\frac17\int_0^\infty\int_{-\frac{3y_1}{14}}^{-\frac{2y_1}7}e^u\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dy_1

=\displaystyle-\frac17\int_0^\infty\left(e^{-\frac{2y_1}7} - e^{-\frac{3y_1}{14}}\right)\,\mathrm dy_1

=\displaystyle-\frac17\left(-\frac72e^{-\frac{2y_1}7} + \frac{14}3 e^{-\frac{3y_1}{14}}\right)\bigg|_0^\infty

=\displaystyle-\frac17\left(\frac72 - \frac{14}3\right)=\frac16

• denominator:

P(Y_1

(I leave the details of the second integral to you)

Then you should end up with

P(<em>Y</em>₁ > <em>Y</em>₂ | <em>Y</em>₁ < 2 <em>Y</em>₂) = (1/6) / (2/3) = 1/4

In mid-day meal scheme 1/ 10 litre of milk is given to each student of a primary school. If 30 litres of milk are distributed ev
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

300 students

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the number of students, we must divide the total amount of milk spent by the amount spent for each and in this way we will obtain the value we are looking for, like this (both have the same units of L, so there is no problem ):

30 / (1/10) = 300

that is to say that there are a total of 300 students

T⁻¹ is the inverse function of T.
To get the inverse function, replace x with y and y with x.
So T<span>⁻¹(x, y): (x + 2, y - 7)</span>
