Tutorial 2. Random variables

1. A student rolls a fair cubic die twice. Let X1 be the result of the first roll and X2 be the
result of the second roll. Plot the graph of f(x) and F(x) for:
i. X = X1 + X2,
ii. X = X1 – X2,
iii. X = X1 × X2,
iv. X = X1 – 2X2.
(Easy)

2. Three production units A, B, and C produce 60%, 30% and 10% of a certain product, with
defective rates of 2%, 3% and 4%, respectively. If a product selected at random is found
defective, what is the probability that the defective product comes from production unit
C?

3. You are participating in a game in which there are three doors. Behind one of them there
is a prize (say a Porsche); behind the other two there is nothing. Your goal is to win the
prize. You pick one door at random, then the game host opens a different door to show
you there is nothing behind. Then, you are given an opportunity to change your original
choice. Will you make the change? Why?

4. Suppose that the joint density of X and Y is given by:

{
e−x/ y
:0< x <∞ , 0< y < ∞
f ( x , y )= y e y
0 :otherwise
Find P(X > 1|Y = y).
(Medium)

5. The joint density of X and Y is given by:

Find the probability density function of the random variable X/Y.
