Suppose that Y1 and Y2 are independent exponentially

Chapter 6, Problem 71E

(choose chapter or problem)

Suppose that \(Y_{1} \text { and } Y_{2}\) are independent exponentially distributed random variables, both with mean \(\beta\) and define

 \(U_{1}=Y_{1}+Y_{2} \text { and } U_{2}=Y_{1} / Y_{2}\)

a.   Shoe that the joint density of (\left(U_{1}, U_{2}\right)\) is

\(f_{U_{1}, U_{2}}\left(u_{1}, u_{2}\right)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}  \frac{1}{\beta^{2}} u_{1}    

e^{-u_{1} / \beta} \frac{1}{\left(1+u_{2}\right)^{2}}, & 0<u_{1}, 0<u_{2} \\ 0, & \text

{  otherwise }  \end{array}\right.\)

b.   Are \(U_{1} \text { and } U_{2}\) are independent? Why?

(U1, U2)

f_{U_1, U_2(u_1, u_2=  \frac1\beta^2 u_1 e^-u_1 \beta} \frac11+u_2^2, & 0<u_1, 0<u_2 0, &  otherwise
