Let X and Y have the following joint probability density function: fX,Y(x,y) = 1 / (x2 y2), for x>1, y>1 0, otherwise Let U = 5 X Y and V = 8 X. In all question parts below, give your answers to three decimal places (where appropriate). (a) The non-zero part of the joint probability density function of U and V is given by fU,V(u,v) = A vB uC for some constants A, B, C. Find the value of A.

Customers at a gas station pay with a credit card (A), debit card (B), or cash (C). Assume that successive customers make independent choices with P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.2, and P(C) = 0.4. (a) Among the next 100 customers, what are the mean and variance of the number who pay with a debit card? mean customers variance customers2 Explain your reasoning. Because we are interested in whether or not a debit card was used, we can use the binomial distribution. X = the probability that a customer used a debit card.Because we are interested in whether or not a debit card was used, we can use the binomial distribution. X = the number of customers who use a debit card. Because we are interested in whether or not a debit card was used, we can use the binomial distribution. X = the number of customers at the gas station. (b) Answer part (a) for the number among the 100 who don't pay with cash. mean customers variance customers2

Probability
Suppose we have a set öf n values! {x1, X2, .., Xn-1, Xn} The sample mean of the above set is x. Prove that if we multiply every value by k, then the new average will be: New average= kã (Hint: Use the formula for the sample mean with the “new" set plugged in, then simplify.)
