The capacities are marked on the Karnaugh map below (in which each cell has probability 1/8). It is easily

By inspection, we see that P{|X| < 1/2} = 1/2. Similarly, P{X < 1/2} = 5/8} and
P[{X > 0} " {X < 1/2} = P{0 < X < 1/2} = 1/8, giving P{X > 0 | X < 1/2} = 1/5. Politically correct antisegregationists (i.e. those who believe in integration) who failed to sketch the pdf can proceed as follows:

g(u) = |u|. Hence, for any v > 0, we have two solutions u 1 = v and u2 = v to the equation g(u) = v. Since
the absolute value of the derivative of g(u) is 1 at both points, we get fY(v) = f X(v) + f X(v) for v > 0.
Obviously fX(v) = f X(v) = 0 if |v| > 1, and hence we have that fY(v) = v + (1v) = 1 for 0 < v < 1. In

0 < v < 1,
summary, f Y(v) = 0,
otherwise, which is readily seen to be a valid pdf.

Problem 7: joint pdf


Problem 7: pdf of X
MMSE estimator
fX(u), the value of the marginal pdf of X at u, equals the cross-sectional area of the pdf surface at u. Hence,
we get that fX(u) has constant value 2/3 for 0 < u < 1, and decreases to 0 as u increases from 1 to 2, as
showb in the middle figure above. More formally,
for 0 < u < 1,
#2/3
fX(u) = "(2/3)(2u)
for 1 $ u < 2,
It is easily verified that the area under the pdf is 1.
!0
otherwise.
The MMSE estimator for Y given X is the mean of the conditional pdf of Y given the value of X. Also,
the conditional pdf is simply the cross-section of the joint pdf surface normalized to have area 1.
It is easily seen that if X = a where 0 < a < 1, then the conditional pdf of Y is uniform on (1a, 2a) and
hence has mean (3/2) a which varies from 3/2 at a = 0 to 1/2 at a = 1, while if 1 $ a < 2, then the
conditional pdf of Y is uniform on (0, 2a) and thus has mean 1 a/2 which varies from 1/2 at a = 1 to 0
^ is (3/2)X if 0 < X < 1, and 1 X/2 if 1 $ X < 2, as illustrated
at a = 2. Thus, the MMSE estimator Y
in the right-hand figure above. Note that the function is piecewise linear, and thus is different from the
linear MMSE estimator.
