Two independent random variables $X$ and $Y$ are uniformly distributed in the interval $[-1,1]$. The probability that $\text{max}[X,Y]$ is less than $1/2$ is$3/4$$9/16$$1...

A person decides to toss a fair coin repeatedly until he gets a head. He will make at most $3$ tosses. Let the random variable $Y$ denote the number of heads. The value o...

A continuous random variable $X$ has a probability density function $f(x)=e^{-x}, 0< x< \infty$. then $P\{X 1\}$$0.368$$0.5$$0.632$$1.0$

Lifetime of an electric bulb is a random variable with density $f(x)=kx^2$ , where $x$ is measured in years. If the minimum and maximum lifetimes of bulb are $1$ and $2$ ...

Let $X$ be a random variable with probability density function$f(x)=\begin{cases} 0.2,& \text{for } \mid x \mid \leq 1\\ 0.1,& \text{for }1< \mid x \mid \leq 4\\ 0 & \tex...

A random variable $X$ has probability density function $f(x)$ as given below:$ f(x)= \begin{cases} a+bx & \text{ for } 0 < x < 1 \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$If...

Let the probability density function of a random variable, $X$, be given as:$f_{x}(x)=\frac{3}{2}e^{-3x}u(x)+ae^{4x}u(-x)$where u(x) is the unit step function.Then the va...
