a. f_{X,Y} is a joint density function if its integral over the given support is 1:

\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty\int_{-\infty}^\infty f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\frac1{10}\int_0^\infty\int_0^\infty e^{-x/2-y/5}\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy

=\displaystyle\frac1{10}\left(\int_0^\infty e^{-x/2}\,\mathrm dx\right)\left(\int_0^\infty e^{-y/5}\,\mathrm dy\right)=\frac1{10}\cdot2\cdot5=1

so the answer is yes.

b. We should first find the density of the marginal distribution, f_Y(y):

f_Y(y)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx=\frac1{10}\int_0^\infty e^{-x/2-y/5}\,\mathrm dy

f_Y(y)=\begin{cases}\dfrac15e^{-y/5}&\text{for }y\ge0\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

Then

P(Y\ge8)=\displaystyle\int_8^\infty f_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy=e^{-8/5}

or about 0.2019.

For the other probability, we can use the joint PDF directly:

P(X\le5,Y\le8)=\displaystyle\int_0^5\int_0^8f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=1+e^{-41/10}-e^{-5/2}-e^{-8/5}

which is about 0.7326.

c. We already know the PDF for Y, so we just integrate:

E[Y]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty y\,f_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy=\frac15\int_0^\infty ye^{-y/5}\,\mathrm dy=\boxed5

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Just In case you want explanation-

1. 4 squared Meaning 4 x 4 = 16

2. 16 x 6 = 96

3x 6 = 18

96- 18 = 78

in the denominator, 25/ 5 = 5

11 minus 5 = 6

78 divided by 6

it gives you 13

Tina is saving to buy a notebook computer. She has two options. The first option is to put $200 away initially and save $10 ever
Mamont248 [21]

Answer: In five months,she will save the same money which is $250.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the first statement we can generate the function y=10x + 200  and using the second statement we can also generate the function y = 30x + 100 . Now using the two equations solve for x and y to determine how many months they cost the same.

y = 10x + 200

y = 30x + 100  

Substitute the value of x in the first equation into the second equation.

30x + 100= 10x + 200   now solve for x

         -100            -100

30x = 10x + 100

-10x    -10x

20x = 100

x= 5  

This means in five months Tina will save the same amount. Now to find out how much the amount is, plot the value of x into one of the equations and solve for  y.

y = 10(5) + 200

y = 50 + 200

y = 250  

She will save $250 with either option.
