Finding conditional density functions for the following scenarios

263 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to find the conditional probability density function for the following scenarios and wondering if they are correct

A number x is chosen at random in the interval [0, 1], given that x > 1/4.

$f(x|1/4<x<1) = 4/3 \space for \space 1/4<x<1$

$f(x|1/4<x<1) = 0 \space otherwise$

A number t is chosen at random in the interval [0, $\inf$) with exponential density $e^t$, given that 1 < t < 10.

$f(t|1<t<10) = \frac{e^{-t}}{e^{-1}-e^{-10}} \space for \space 1<t<10$

$f(t|1<t<10) = 0 \space otherwise$

A dart is thrown at a circular target of radius 10 inches, given that it falls in the upper half of the target.

$f((x,y)|y>0) = \frac{1}{50\pi} \space for \space y>0 \space and \space x^2+y^2<100$

$f((x,y)|y>0) = 0 \space otherwise$

Two numbers x and y are chosen at random in the interval [0, 1], given that x > y.

$f((x,y)|x > y) = 2 \space for \space x > y \space and \space x,y\in[0,1]$

$f((x,y)|x > y) = 0 \space otherwise$

Correct.

Well, that is assuming that darts do indeed land on dart boards with uniform distribution.

The support for the last one can also be expressed as $0\leqslant y<x\leqslant 1$.
