5. Suppose X and Y are two independent Uniform(0, 1) random variables. Use the cumulative distribution function method to find the probability density function of their sum U = X+Y. Solution: Given that X = (0,1) and Y = (0, 1), we have U € (0,2). Then for u € (0,2), the equality U = u implies that X = u-Y. Hence, since we want 0 Uu, we observe that we need 0≤x≤u-Y, which is possible if and only if Y

A particular fast-food outlet is interested in the joint behavior of the random variable Y1, the total time between a customer’s arrival at the store and his leaving the service window, and let Y2, the time that the customer waits in line before reaching the service. Since Y1 contains the time a customer waits in line, we must have Y1 ≥ Y2. The relative frequency distribution of observed values of Y1 and Y2 can be modelled by the probability density function Find P(Y1 < 2, Y2 > 1). Find P(Y1 ≥ 2Y2). Find P( Y1 – Y2 ≥1). [Note Y1 -Y2 denote the time spent at the service window ] If a customer’s total waiting time service time is known to be more than 2 minutes, find the probability that the customer waited less than 1 minute to be served.
