Cat 1 BMC Cat

The document contains a probability and statistics exam with 4 questions. Question 1 involves joint and marginal probabilities and independence. Question 2 defines a joint density function and finds marginal densities and a conditional probability. Question 3 determines the probability density function of the product of two independent uniform random variables. Question 4 finds the probability density function of the ratio of two independent exponential random variables.
