1/2 y3
0 otherwise

Let 𝑈 = 𝑔(𝑌) = 𝑌 − 2
a) Find 𝑃𝑈 (𝑢)
b) Find 𝐸[𝑈]
c) Find 𝐹𝑈 𝑢
Problem(3)
On the internet, data is transmitted in packets. In a simple model for the World Wide Web, the number of
packets N needed to transmit a web page depends on whether the page has graphic images. If the page has
Images (I), then N is uniformly distributed between 1 and 24 packets. If it has only text (T), then N is
uniformly distributed 1 and 3 packets. Assuming a page has image with probability 1/3 . Find:
(a ) PN / I (n )
(b) PN /T (n )
(c) PN (n)
(d) PN / N 9 (n)
(e) V ar [N / N 9]
