Question
An electronic system has one each of two different types of components in joint oper-
ation. Let Y₁ and Y₂ denote the random lengths of life, in hundreds of hours, of the
components of type I and type II, respectively. The joint density function is given by:
f(y₁, y2)
=
[(1/8)y₁e¯(v₁+y²)/²_if y₁ > 0, y2 > 0
elsewhere
0
(a) Verify that f(y₁, y2) is a probability density function.
(b) Find P(Y₁ > 1, Y2₂ > 1).
(c) Find the probability that a component of type II will have a life length in excess
of 200 hours.
(d) Is fy₁,Y₂ (y₁, y2) = fy₁ (₁) fy₂ (Y2)?
(e) One way to measure the relative efficiency of the two components is to compute
the ratio Y₂/Y₁. Find E(Y₂/Y₁).
