Suppose that Y has density function

Mathematics

zvonat [6]3 years ago

I'm assuming

f(y)=\begin{cases}ky(1-y)&\text{for }0\le y\le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

(a) <em>f(x)</em> is a valid probability density function if its integral over the support is 1:

\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)\,\mathrm dx=k\int_0^1 y(1-y)\,\mathrm dy=k\int_0^1(y-y^2)\,\mathrm dy=1

Compute the integral:

\displaystyle\int_0^1(y-y^2)\,\mathrm dy=\left(\frac{y^2}2-\frac{y^3}3\right)\bigg|_0^1=\frac12-\frac13=\frac16

So we have

<em>k</em> / 6 = 1   →   <em>k</em> = 6

(b) By definition of conditional probability,

P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.4 | <em>Y</em> ≤ 0.8) = P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.4 and <em>Y</em> ≤ 0.8) / P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.8)

P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.4 | <em>Y</em> ≤ 0.8) = P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.4) / P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.8)

It makes sense to derive the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the rest of the problem, since <em>F(y)</em> = P(<em>Y</em> ≤ <em>y</em>).

We have

\displaystyle F(y)=\int_{-\infty}^y f(t)\,\mathrm dt=\int_0^y6t(1-t)\,\mathrm dt=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }y

Then

P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.4) = <em>F</em> (0.4) = 0.352

P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.8) = <em>F</em> (0.8) = 0.896

and so

P(<em>Y</em> ≤ 0.4 | <em>Y</em> ≤ 0.8) = 0.352 / 0.896 ≈ 0.393

(c) The 0.95 quantile is the value <em>φ</em> such that

P(<em>Y</em> ≤ <em>φ</em>) = 0.95

In terms of the integral definition of the CDF, we have solve for <em>φ</em> such that

\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\varphi f(y)\,\mathrm dy=0.95

We have

\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\varphi f(y)\,\mathrm dy=\int_0^\varphi 6y(1-y)\,\mathrm dy=(3y^2-2y^3)\bigg|_0^\varphi = 0.95

which reduces to the cubic

3<em>φ</em>² - 2<em>φ</em>³ = 0.95

Use a calculator to solve this and find that <em>φ</em> ≈ 0.865.

What is the value of x in the equation 8x – 2y = 48, when y = 4?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

since we know y = 4, we can plug this into the equation to find x

8x - 2y = 48

8x - 2(4) = 48

8x - 8 = 48

8x = 56

x = 7

Tatiana [17]

If you are multiplying by 100, the decimal will move 2 places to the right.

It moves to the right when multiplying because the number is getting greater, and there are 2 zeroes in 100 so it moves twice.

expeople1 [14]

Answer: 25

Step-by-step explanation: 8*5=40, so multiply 5 by 5. Or, to put it another way:

5/8 = 25/40
