6. (Sec. 5.1) Two headlights of a car have the following joint pdf for their useful lifetimes X (the left
headlight) and Y (the right headlight)
ze(y+1) for r> 0.y > 0
f(x, y)
0 otherwise
(a) What is the probability that the lifetime X of the left headlight exceeds 2.8?
(b) Find the marginal pdfs of X and Y. Are the two lifetimes independent? Justify your answer
(c) What is the probability that the lifetime of at least one headlight does not exceed 2.8?
Suppose X is a random variable with the
cdf Fy(x) = 1-(1+x²) x>0, c>0, Y>0
Derive the pdf of the inverse of X,
Y=1/x²
