QUESTION:

In Exercise  \(Y_{1}\) and \(Y_{2}\) denoted the proportions of time that employees 1 and II actually spent working on their assigned tasks during a workday. The joint density of \(Y_{1}\) and \(Y_{2}\) is given by

                                \(f\left(y_{1}, y_{2}\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}

y_{1}+y_{2} & 0 \leq y_{1} \leq 1,0 \leq y_{2} \leq 1, \\

0, & \text { elsewhere. }

\end{array}\right.

\)

In Exercise , we derived the mean of the productivity measure \(30 Y_{1}+25 Y_{2}\). Find the variance of this measure of productivity. Give an interval in which you think the total productivity measures of the two employees should lie for at least  of the days in question.

ANSWER:

Answer:

Step 1 of 1:

In Exercise   and  denoted the proportions of time that employees  actually spent working on their assigned tasks during a workday.

The joint probability density function of  and  is given by,

The Employee  has a higher productivity rating than employee  and a measure of the total productivity of the pair of employees is

Find the variance of this measure of productivity.

Give an interval in which you think the total productivity measures of the two employees should lie for at least 75% of the days in question.

We need to find

Let  and  jointly continuous random variables with the joint (or bivariate) probability function Then the marginal density functions of  and  respectively, are given by

 

Hence the marginal density functions for  is,

The marginal density functions for  is,

Let  and  jointly continuous random variables with the joint (or bivariate) probability function Then the expected value of  and  respectively, are given by
