1. Problem 1. As defined in the problem, A B—
w is composed of the elements in
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
A that are not in B. Thus, the items to be noted are true. Making use of
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
the properties of the probability function, we find that:
w w w w w w w w
P(A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B — A)
w w w w w w w w w w w
and that:w
P(B) = P (B — A) + P (A ∩ B).

Combining the two results, we find that: w w w w w w
P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B) — P (A ∩ B).

Clearly the piece of the integral associated with ue−u /2 is zero. The

Now let us consider the variance of the RV—

5. Problem 5. w
If two random variables are independent, then their joint PDF must be th
w w w w w w w w w w w w
e product of their marginal PDFs. That is, fXY (α, β) = fX (α)fY (β). The r
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
egions in which the joint PDF are non-
w w w w w w w
zero must be the intersection of regions in which both marginal PDFs are
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
non-
zero. As these regions are strips in the α, β plains, their intersections ar
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
e rectangles in that plain. (Note that for our purposes an infinite region all o
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
f whose borders are right angles to one another is also considered a recta
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
ngle.)
6. Problem 6. w
Consider the PDF given in Figure 1.1. It is the union of two rectangu-
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
lar regions. Thus, it is at least possible that the two random variables ar
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
e independent. In order for the random variables to actually be in-
w w w w w w w w w w w
dependent it is necessary that f XY (α, β) = fX(α)fY (β) at all points.
