QUESTION:

Measurements are made on the length and width (in cm) of a rectangular component. Because of measurement error, the measurements are random variables. Let X denote the length measurement and let Y denote the width measurement. Assume that the probability density function of X is

          \(f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cl}

10 & 9.95<x<10.05 \\

0 & \text { otherwise }

\end{array}\right.

\)

and that the probability density function of Y is

          \(g(y)= \begin{cases}5 & 4.9<y<5.1 \\ 0 & \text { otherwise }\end{cases}\)

                        

Assume that the measurements X and Y are independent.

a. Find \(P(X<9.98)\).

b. Find \(P(Y>5.01)\).

c. Find \(P(X<9.98 \text { and } Y>5.01)\).

d. Find \(\mu_X\).

e. Find \(\mu_Y\).

ANSWER:

Solution:

Step 1:

Let X denote the length measurement and let Y denote the width measurement. Here the probability density function of X is

                   

And the density function of Y is

                     

We have to find

  1.  P(X<9.98)
  2.  P(Y> 5.01)
  3.  P(X<9.98 and Y>5.01)
  4.  E(X)
  5.  E(Y)

Step  2:

   

   

  1. We have to find the probability P(X<9.98)

           P(X<9.98) =
