Question

Let $\uptext{X}$ , and $\uptext{Y}$ be the lifespans (in hours) of two electronic devices, and their joint probability mass function is given below.

$\operatorname{f_{X,Y}}{\left (x,y \right )} = \begin{cases} c e^{- x - 2 y} & 0<x<y<\infty \ 0, & \text{Otherwise} \end{cases}$

Determine the value of $\uptext{c}$

Answer

In order to find the value of $\uptext{c}$ , we need to take find the double integral of the function

Let's find what the bounds are for both $\uptext{x}$ , and $\uptext{y}$

We look at the p.d.f to see that the bounds for $\uptext{x}$ are, , and for $\uptext{y}$ , $0<y<\infty$

Now let's set up the double integral

$\int_{0}^{\infty}\int_{0}^{y} c e^{- x - 2 y}, dx, dy$

Before we evaluate it, we need to remember to set the double integral equal to one, since we are essentially solving for the c.d.f.

$\int_{0}^{\infty}\int_{0}^{y} c e^{- x - 2 y}, dx, dy = 1$

Now evaluate the double integral

$\int_{0}^{\infty} c e^{- 2 y} - c e^{- 3 y}, dy = 1$

To evaluate this, we need to use the limit definition

$\lim_{b \to \infty}\left(- \frac{c}{2} e^{- 2 y} + \frac{c}{3} e^{- 3 y}\right) \Big|_{ 0 }^{ b }$

$- \lim_{b \to \infty}\left(- \frac{c}{6}\right) + \lim_{b \to \infty}\left(- \frac{c}{2} e^{- 2 b} + \frac{c}{3} e^{- 3 b}\right)$

$\frac{c}{6} = 1$

Now we simply solve for $\uptext{c}$

Question

Let $\uptext{X}$ , and $\uptext{Y}$ be the lifespans (in hours) of two electronic devices, and their joint probability mass function is given below.

$\operatorname{f_{X,Y}}{\left (x,y \right )} = \begin{cases} c e^{- 5 x - 6 y} & 0<x<y<\infty \ 0, & \text{Otherwise} \end{cases}$

Determine the value of $\uptext{c}$ .

Answer

In order to find the value of $\uptext{c}$ , we need to take find the double integral of the function

Let's find what the bounds are for both $\uptext{x}$ , and $\uptext{y}$

We look at the p.d.f to see that the bounds for $\uptext{x}$ are, , and for $\uptext{y}$ , $0<y<\infty$

Now let's set up the double integral

$\int_{0}^{\infty}\int_{0}^{y} c e^{- 5 x - 6 y}, dx, dy$
Before we evaluate it, we need to remember to set the double integral equal to one, since we are essentially solving for the c.d.f.

$\int_{0}^{\infty}\int_{0}^{y} c e^{- 5 x - 6 y}, dx, dy = 1$

Now evaluate the double integral

$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{c}{5} e^{- 6 y} - \frac{c}{5} e^{- 11 y}, dy = 1$
To evaluate this, we need to use the limit definition

$\lim_{b \to \infty}\left(- \frac{c}{30} e^{- 6 y} + \frac{c}{55} e^{- 11 y}\right) \Big|_{ 0 }^{ b }$

$- \lim_{b \to \infty}\left(- \frac{c}{66}\right) + \lim_{b \to \infty}\left(- \frac{c}{30} e^{- 6 b} + \frac{c}{55} e^{- 11 b}\right)$

$\frac{c}{66} = 1$

Now we simply solve for $\uptext{c}$
