The quadratic equation has two distinct real roots when $$Y^2-4XZ>0 \to
Y^2>4XZ \to 1>Y>\sqrt{4XZ}.$$
$$\sqrt{4XZ}<1 \to XZ<1/4 \to Z<1/(4X).$$
$$Z<1,$$
so any integral over this region must partition between $0<X<1/4,$ where
$Z\in(0,1)$ and $1/4<X<1,$ where $Z\in(0,1/(4X)).$
Note that there is a probability density function of $1$ because the
distribution is uniform over a volume of 1.
$$\int\int_A\int_{\sqrt{4xz}}^1 1 dydzdx =
\int\int_A 1-\sqrt{4xz}dzdx =
\int_0^{1/4}\int_0^1 1-\sqrt{4xz}dzdx + \int_{1/4}^1\int_0^{1/(4x)}
1-\sqrt{4xz}dzdx$$$$ =
\int_0^{1/4} 1-(2/3)\sqrt{4x(1)^3}dx + \int_{1/4}^1 1/(4x) -
(2/3)\sqrt{4x(1/(4x))^3}dx =
1/4 - 1/9 + ln(4)/12.$$

$$\Pr(\min\{X,Y\}\geq z) = \Pr(X\geq z)\Pr(Y\geq z) = e^{-\lambda

showing, by 1-cdf of an exponential distribution, the minimum of two
exponential distributions combines to a third exponential distribution
of parameter $\lambda+\mu.$

= {1\over4}(3y)e^{-y} - \left[ {1\over4}e^{-(x+y)} \right]^\infty_0

giving the marginal density function of $Y$ with integration by parts.

$$\Pr(Y>X) = \int_0^\infty \int_x^\infty {1\over4}(x+3y)e^{-(x+y)} dy dx
= {1\over4}\int_0^\infty -(x+3y)e^{-(x+y)} - 3e^{-(x+y)}

The probability density function of the distance between the landing
point and the drop point is $D = \sqrt{(X_1^2-X_0)^2+(Y_1-Y_0)^2}.$ 
The probability density function of each of these variables is
$$f(x) = {1\over\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}}e^{-{1\over2\sigma^2}x^2}$$

$$\E D = \infint\infint\infint\infint

(y_0+r\sin\theta)^2)}rdrd\theta dx_0dy_0$$$$

The joint probability density function of either location is the product
of two normal distributions on $x$ and $y$:
$$f_{X,Y}(x,y) = {1\over2\pi\sigma^2}e^{-{1\over2\sigma^2}(x^2+y^2)}.$$
The distance between these two is $D=(X_1-X_0, Y_1-Y_0),$ with a
probability distribution of
$$f_{D_X}(x) = f_{X,Y}(x,y)$$
Transforming this into polar coordinates gives the Jacobian (with
$x=r\cos\theta$ and $y=r\sin\theta$)
$$J = \left|\matrix{\pa x\theta&\pa xr\cr\pa y\theta&\pa yr\cr}\right| =
\left|\matrix{-r\sin\theta&\cos\theta\cr r\cos\theta&\sin\theta}\right|
= -r\sin^2\theta - r\cos^2\theta = -r,$$
with the Pythagorean identity.
$$f_{R,\Theta}(r,\theta) = f_{X,Y}(r\cos\theta,r\sin\theta)r =
{r\over2\pi\sigma^2}e^{-r^2/(2\sigma^2)}$$
$$\E R = \int_0^\infty\int_0^{2\pi}
r{r\over2\pi\sigma^2}e^{-r/(2\sigma^2)}d\theta dr
= \int_0^\infty {r^2\over\sigma^2}e^{-r^2/(2\sigma^2)} dr$$$$
= -2re^{-r^2/(2\sigma^2)}\bigg|_0^\infty - \int_0^\infty
-2e^{-r^2/(2\sigma^2)} dr = \int_0^\infty 2e^{-r^2/(2\sigma^2)}dr
= \sigma\sqrt{\pi/2}.$$

$\var(R) = \E(R^2) - \E(R)^2,$ and
$$\E(R^2) = \int_0^\infty \int_0^{2\pi} r^2
{r\over2\pi\sigma^2}e^{-r/(2\sigma^2)}d\theta dr
= \int_0^\infty {r^3\over\sigma^2}e^{-r/(2\sigma^2)}dr$$$$
= -r^2e^{-r^2/(2\sigma^2)}\bigg|_0^\infty - \int_0^\infty
-2re^{-r/(2\sigma^2)}dr = \int_0^\infty 2re^{-r^2/(2\sigma^2)}dr$$$$
= \int_0^\infty e^{-u/(2\sigma^2)}du = 2\sigma^2.$$
$2\sigma^2-\sigma^2\pi/2 = \var(R).$

because $\int_0^\infty e^{-kx}x^n dx = \Gamma(n+1)/k^{n+1}$ (as may be
discovered by repeated integration by parts and evaluation of that
summation).

$$f_{X,Y}(x,y) = \bigg\{\align{2&0<y<x<1,\cr 0&{\rm otherwise.}\cr}$$
$$\Pr(X+Y<1) = \int_{x=0}^1 \int_{y=0}^{1-x} f_{X,Y}(x,y) dy dx

- 1^2 - (2(1/2) - (1/2)^2) = 1/4 + 2 - 1 - 1 + 1/4 = 1/2.$$

$$f_X(x) = \int_0^x 2dy = 2x,$$
because $y\in(0,x).$
$$\E(X) = \int_0^1 xf_X(x)dx = \int_0^1 2x^2dx = 2/3.$$
$$f_{Y|X}(y|x) = {f_{X,Y}(x,y)\over f_X(x)} = {2\over 2x} = {1\over
x}.$$
$$\E(Y|X=x) = \int_0^x yf_{Y|X}(y|x) dy = x^2/2x = x/2.$$

$$f_X(x) = f_Y(x) = \bigg\{\align{1&0\leq x\leq 1,\cr 0&{\rm

$$U = \min\{X,Y\}. V = \max\{X,Y\}$$
$$\Pr(U\geq u) = \Pr(X\geq u)\Pr(Y\geq u) = \int_u^1\int_u^1 1dydx =
(1-u)^2 \to {d\over du}\Pr(U\leq u) = 2(1-u).$$
$$\E U = \int_0^1 u(2(1-u))du = \int_0^1 2u-2u^2 du = 1^2-2(1)^3/3 =
1/3.$$
Similarly, $${d\over dv}\Pr(V\leq v) = 2v \to \E V = \int_0^1 2v^2dv =
2/3.$$
With symmetry, we can calculate the covariance using $X\leq Y \to X = U,
Y = V.$
$${\rm Cov}[X,Y] = \E[XY]-\E[X]\E[Y] = \int_0^1\int_0^1 xydxdy - 2/9 =

$$U = X.$$
$$V = X+aY.$$
$$X = U.$$
$$Y = (V-U)/a.$$
$$J = \left|\matrix{\pa xu&\pa xv\cr\pa yu&\pa yv\cr}\right| =
\left|\matrix{1&0\cr -1/a&1/a\cr}\right| = 1/a.$$

$$f_{U,V}(u,v) = f(u)g((v-u)/a)/a.$$

Given the particular constraints $f(x) = g(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda
x}$ for $x\geq0,$ and $a=1/2,$
$$f_V(v) = \int_0^\infty {f(u)g((v-u)/a)\over a} du =
\int_0^v 2\lambda^2 e^{-\lambda u}e^{-\lambda 2(v-u)} du =$$$$
2\lambda^2 \int_0^v e^{\lambda(u-2v)} du =
2\lambda^2 (e^{-\lambda v}-e^{-2\lambda v})/\lambda =
2\lambda e^{-\lambda v}(1-e^{-\lambda v}).
$$

Yes. This distribution is the same as $\max\{X,Y\}$ because, for
independent and identically distributed continuous distributions, by
symmetry, $\Pr(X\geq Y) = 1/2 = \Pr(X>Y)+\Pr(X=Y) = \Pr(X>Y).$
Therefore, $\Pr(\max\{X,Y\}\leq x) = \Pr(X\leq x)\Pr(Y\leq x) \to
f_{\max\{X,Y\}}(x) = f(x)\Pr(Y\leq x) + \Pr(X\leq x)g(x) = 2\lambda
e^{-\lambda v}(1-e^{-\lambda v}).$

$$X = 2U+V.$$
$$Y = V.$$
$$J(u,v) = \left|\matrix{\pa xu&\pa xv\cr\pa yu&\pa yv\cr}\right| =
\left|\matrix{2& 0\cr 1 & 1\cr}\right| = 2.$$

$$f_{U,V}(u,v) = f_{X,Y}(x(u,v), y(u,v))J(u,v) = 2f_{X,Y}(2u+v, v) =
{1\over2}e^{-{1\over2}(2u+v+v)} = {1\over2}e^{-u-v} \quad\hbox{when
$(u,v)\in A$}$$

Given $x\geq 0, y\geq 0,$ $2u+v\geq 0 \to v \geq -2u,$ and $y = v\geq 0.$
For $u\geq0,$
$$f_U(u) = \int_0^\infty {1\over2}e^{-u-v}dv = {1\over2}e^{-u}
\int_0^\infty e^{-v}dv = {1\over2}e^{-u} = {1\over2}e^{-|u|}.$$
and for $u<0,$
$$f_U(u) = \int_{-2u}^\infty {1\over2}e^{-u-v}dv = {1\over2}e^{-u}
\int_{-2u}^\infty e^{-v}dv = {1\over2}e^{-u}(e^{2u}) = {1\over2}e^u =
{1\over2}e^{-|u|}$$

Let $f(x,y) = 2\exp(-x-y),$ $0< x \leq y < +\infty,$ and $f(x,y) = 0$
elsewhere, be the joint pdf of $(X, Y)$ studied in our last lecture.
Find $F_{(X,Y)}$ the joint cdf of $(X,Y)$ and $F_X$ the marginal cdf of
$X$ as well as $F_Y$ the marginal cdf of $Y$.

Does there exist positive values of $x$ and $y$ for which
$F_{(X,Y)}(x,y) = F_X(x)F_Y(y)$?

$$F_{(X,Y)}(x,y) = \int_{u=0}^y \int_{v=0}^{\min\{u,x\}} 2e^{-u-v} dvdu
= \int_{u=0}^x \int_{v=0}^u 2e^{-u-v}dvdu + \int_{u=x}^y \int_{v=0}^x
2e^{-u-v}dvdu$$$$
= \int_{u=0}^x -2e^{-2u} + 2e^{-u}du +
\int_{u=x}^y -2e^{-u-x}+2e^{-u}du$$$$
= (e^{-2x} - 2e^{-x}) - (e^0 - 2e^0) + (2e^{-y-x} - 2e^{-y}) -
(2e^{-2x} - 2e^{-x})
= 1 + 2e^{-y-x} - 2e^{-y} - e^{-2x}
= (1-2e^{-y})(1-e^{-2x})
$$

$$F_X(x) = \lim_{y\to\infty} F_{(X,Y)}(x,y) = 1-e^{-2x}.$$
Similarly,
$$F_Y(y) = 1-2e^{-y}.$$
For all positive values of $x$ and $y,$ the given equality holds.
