es set in the text.

Chapter 1 w




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).
w w w w w w w w w w w




Combining the two results, we find that: w w w w w w




P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B) — P (A ∩ B).
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




2. Problem 2. w




(a) It is clear that fX (α)

0. Thus, we need only check that the i w w w w w w w w




ntegral of the PDF is equal to 1. We find that: w w w w w w w w w w

Thus, E(X2 ) = 2. As E(X) = 0, we find that σ2 = 2 and σX =

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

remaining integral is just µ times the integral of the PDF of the standard no

rmal RV—and must be equal to µ as advertised.
w w w w w w w w




Now let us consider the variance of the RV—
w w w — w w w w w




let us consider E((X µ)2). We find that:

As this is just σ2 times the variance of a standard normal RV, we find th

at the variance here is σ2.

(a) Clearly (β —α)2 ≥ w

(b) Because β2 ≥ 2αβ — w

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.
