Probability and Statistics Hints/Solutions To Test Set 7: U, V U, V U, V U, V 2 2 2

1) The joint probability distribution of random variables U and V is given. 2) The random variables X1, X2, Y1, Y2 are normally distributed and independent. The random variable Z2 is the sum of squares of X1-X2 and Y1-Y2 and has a negative exponential distribution. 3) The joint density function of U and V is f(u,v) = (2/σ)ve^(-v/σ)/(1+u)2 where u,v > 0.

5. Similar. Y and Z are independent. Z and U are independent.


6. Similar. Y1, Y2 and Y3 are independent.
7. Consider ln P and use linearity property of independent normal variables. Now use
the symmetry of normal distribution to get values of L1 and L2.
8. Use the properties of a bivariate normal population.
9. Use the linearity property of normal distribution.
