Concept explainers
In Exercise 5.12, we were given the following joint
- a Find P(Y1 ≤ 1/2|Y2 ≤ 1/4).
- b Find P(Y1 ≤ 1/2|Y2 ≤ 1/4).
5.12 Let Y1 and Y2 denote the proportions of two different types of components in a sample from a mixture of chemicals used as an insecticide. Suppose that Y1 and Y2 have the joint density function given by
(Notice that Y1 + Y2 ≤ 1 because the random variables denote proportions within the same sample.) Find
- c P(Y1 ≤ 3/4, Y2 ≤ 3/4).
- d P(Y1 ≤ 1/2, Y2 ≤ 1/2).
