Consider two independent exponential random variables X1 and X2 with parameter lambda=1. LetY1 = X1
Y2 = X1 + X2.
Find the MMSE estimate of Y1 using Y2.
A problem that occurs with certain types of mining is that some byproducts tend to be mildlyradioactive, and these products sometimes get into our freshwater supply. The EPA has issuedregulations concerning a limit on the amount of radioactivity in supplies of drinking water.Particularly, the maximum level for naturally occurring radiation is 5 picocuries per liter ofwater (on average). A random sample of 24 water specimens from a city’s water supply gave ̄x= 4.61 and s = 0.87. Do these data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the meanlevel of radiation is safe (below the maximum level set by the EPA)? Test usingα= 0.05.
Suppose we have the quadratic function f(x)=A(x^2)+2X+C
where the random variables A and C have densities fA(x)=(x/2) for 0≤x≤2,
and fC(x)=3(x^2) for 0≤x≤1.
Assume A and C are independent. Find the probability that f(x) has real roo
