):

f X ( x )= c (1−x ) ,∧−1 ≤ x ≤1
0 ,∧elsewhere

1) Find the constant c, and plot f X ( x ).

2) Determine the cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) F X ( x ) of X .

3) Calculate the probability P[|X|< 0.5].

2. A computer manufacturer uses chips from three vendors A, B, and C with probabilities of 0.2, 0.3,
and 0.5 respectively. It is known that the chips from vendors A, B, and C are defective with
probabilities 0.001, 0.005, 0.01.
If a randomly selected chip is found to be defective, find the probability that the chip was from the
vendor C.

3. The amount of time that cars are parked in a parking lot follows an exponential probability
distribution with parameter 1 (α =1 ¿. The charge for parking in a lot is 1,000 won for each half-hour
or less. Then, find the probability that a car pays k thousand won for the parking fee.

4. Let random variables X , Y and Z have the following joint pdf:

f XYZ ( x , y , z )=k ( x + y + z ) ,0 ≤ x ≤ 1 ,0 ≤ y ≤ 1 , 0≤ z ≤ 1

(a) Find the constant k.

(b) Determine the conditional pdf of Z given X and Y , i.e. f Z∨ XY ( z∨x , y ) , and prove that it is a
valid pdf by showing the integration of it for - ∞< z <∞ becomes unity.
5. Let a random process X ( t )be defined as:

X ( t )= Acos ( ωt ) +Bsin (ωt )

where A and B are independent, identically distributed (iid) zero mean random variables. Determine
whether X ( t ) is WSS (wide sense stationary) or not.
