A stick of unit length is broken into two pieces at random: the interval is divided in two pieces at X, and X is uniformly distributed in (0,1).

Let Y be the longer piece, therefore range of Y is (1/2,1). Find the cumulative distribution function of Y.

We are given a stick that extends from 0 to x. Its length, x, is the realization of an exponential random variable X, with mean 1. We break that stick at a point Y that is uniformly distributed over the interval [0,x]. Write down the (fully specified) joint PDF fX,Y(x,y) of X and Y. For 0<y≤x: fX,Y(x,y)= Find Var(E[Y∣X]). Var(E[Y∣X])= 3. We do not observe the value of X, but are told that Y=2.2. Find the MAP estimate of X...

Let X1, X2, X3 be independent random variables, uniformly distributed on [0,1]. Let Y be the median of X1, X2, X3 (that is the middle of the three values). Find the conditional CDF of X1, given the event Y = 1/2. Under this conditional distribution, is X1 continuous? Discrete?

Gloria and Steven are supposed to meet at 2 pm. The number of hours Gloria is late is distributed uniformly over (0,1). The number of hours Steven is late is distributed according to an exponential random variable with parameter 2. Their respective delays are supposed to be independent. Let X be the time at which Gloria and Steven actually meet (in number of hours after 2 pm). A) Find the cumulative distribution function of X. B) Use it to calculate...
