<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

maksim [4K]

Answer:

the answer is G

which is 6.2*10 to the 9th power.

Step-by-step explanation:

In scientific notation you must leave one digit to the place value of ones

so that one digit is 6

So ue come up with 6.2 when ue eliminate all other zeros and end the decimal point between 6 and 2 and that way you have 6.2*10 to the 9th power
