Assignment-2: Unit-I, II and III

1) A company sells high fidelity amplifiers capable of generating 10, 25 and 50W of audio
power. It has on hand 100 of 10 W units of which 15% are defective, 70 of 25W units with
10% defective and 30 of the 50W units with 10% defective.
What is the probability that an amplifier sold from the 10W units is defective?
a. If each wattage amplifier sells with equal likelihood, what is the probability of a
randomly selected unit being 50W and defective?
b. What is the probability that a unit randomly selected for sale is defective?
2) The continuous random variable X has the pdf

�� (�) = �(�2 ) 0 < � ≤ 2

0 �����ℎ���
where k is a constant.
i. Find the value of k
ii. P(1<X<2).
iii. Fx(x)

3) A random variable X is uniformly distributed on the interval (-5, 15). Another random
variable � = �−�/5 is formed. Find the mean of Y.

4) Consider the transformation, Y=cosX, where X is uniform in (0, 2�). Find �� � .

5) The joint PDF of two RV’s X and Y is
1 − � �
6+3
��� �, � = 18 � ��� � ≥ 0 ��� � ≥ 0
0 ��ℎ������
a) Find the marginal PDFs and CDFs of RV’s X and Y
b) Show that the RVs are statistically independent.

6) Let X and Y be a jointly continuous random variables with joint pdf

�(��) 0 < � ≤ 2,0 < � ≤ 1

�� (�) =
0 �����ℎ���

Find the value of K and the marginal density function of x.

7) Given the function ��,� �, � = �(� + �)2 − 2 < � < 2, − 3 < � < 3
0 �����ℎ���
Find the constant ‘b’ such that this is a valid Joint PDF
Find �� � and �� � .
