Get started for freeLet \(X\) and \(Y\) have a bivariate normal distribution with parameters
\(\mu_{1}=\) 3, \(\mu_{2}=1, \sigma_{1}^{2}=16, \sigma_{2}^{2}=25\), and
\(\rho=\frac{3}{5} .\) Determine the following probabilities:
(a) \(P(3
Let an unbiased die be cast at random seven independent times. Compute the conditional probability that each side appears at least once given that side 1 appears exactly twice.
Using the computer, obtain plots of beta pdfs for \(\alpha=5\) and \(\beta=1,2,5,10,20\).
. Let \(X\) be \(N(0,1)\). Use the moment-generating-function technique to show that \(Y=X^{2}\) is \(\chi^{2}(1)\) Hint: \(\quad\) Evaluate the integral that represents \(E\left(e^{t X^{2}}\right)\) by writing \(w=x \sqrt{1-2 t}\), \(t<\frac{1}{2}\)
Let \(X\) have an exponential distribution.
(a) Show that
$$
P(X>x+y \mid X>x)=P(X>y)
$$
Hence, the exponential distribution has the memoryless property. Recall from
(3.1.6) that the discrete geometric distribution had a similar property.
(b) Let \(F(x)\) be the cdf of a continuous random variable \(Y\). Assume that
\(F(0)=0\) and \(0
