QUESTION:

Refer to Exercise 5.11. Find

a) the marginal density functions for \(Y_{1}\) and \(Y_{2}\).

b) \(P\left(Y_{2}>1 / 2 \mid Y_{1}=1 / 4\right)\).

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

(a). Suppose \(Y_{1}\) and \(Y_{2}\) are uniformly distributed over the triangle shown below

To find the marginal density functions for \(Y_{1}\) and \(Y_{2}\)

From the figure given above, it is seen that \(y_{2} \geq 0\) is always and \(-1 \leq y_{1} \leq 1\). Therefore, the region is enclosed by the curve

\(\left|y_{1}\right|+y_{2}=1\)                                 (i)

From equation (i), we have

\(y_{2}=1-\left|y_{1}\right|\)
