The geometric and the exponential distributions both have "memoryless" properties. Prove the "memoryless" properties for each of these distributions; that is, prove that if the random variable X has a geometric distribution, P[X = a+b| X> a] = P[X= b], where a and b are positive integer constants, and if the random variable Y has an exponential distribution, P[Y>c+d|Y> c] = P[Y>d],

A bank operates both a drive-up facility and a walk-up window. On a randomly selected day, let X be the proportion of time that the drive-up facility is in use (at least one customer is being served or waiting to be served) and Y be the proportion of time that the walk-up window is in use. The joint PDF is ... fxy (x, y) = 5 (x + y²) • What is the probability that neither window is busy more than one-quarter of the time? • What is f(X)? • What is fy(y)?

Chapters: Normal and Exponential random variables. Q: There exist naturally occurring random variables that are neither discrete nor continuous. Suppose a group of people is waiting for one more person to arrive before starting a meeting. Suppose that the arrival time of the person is exponential with mean 4 minutes, and that the meeting will start either when the person arrives or after 5 minutes, whichever comes first. Let X denote the length of time the group waits before starting the meeting. - a. Find P(0

What does the memoryless property refer to? An event cannot occur if it has already occured within a recent specified time period. The distribution of the time until an event does not depend on how much time has already passed. The occurrence of an event is independent of the number of times that event has already occurred. None of the above.
