EE230: tutorial 7

1. Let X and Y be independent random variables, each of which is uniformly distributed on

[0, 1]. Let Z = XY . Find CDF and PDF of Z.

2. A bag contains 15 blue balls and 20 red balls. Let Z be an event of choosing 10 balls
(without replacement) at random. Let X be the number of blue balls and Y be the
number of red balls. Find the joint PMF of X and Y .

3. Let continuous random variables X and Y and have joint cumulative density function
x
e−y− y
fX,Y (x, y) = C , 0 < x < ∞, 0 < y < ∞.
2y
Find the constant C. Find the marginal density function of Y .

4. If X and Y have joint density function fX,Y then X + Y has density function
Z ∞
fX+Y (z) = f (x, z − x)dx.
−∞

What if X and Y are independent?
