01

Review practice: Function on one variable

Suppose the PDF of is given by: Find the CDF and PDF of .

02

PDF of min and max

Suppose and and these variables are independent. Find:

  • (a) The PDF of
  • (b) The PDF of

Sums of random variables

03

PDF of sum from joint PDF

Suppose the joint PDF of and is given by:

Find the PDF of .

04

Poisson plus Bernoulli

Suppose that:

  • and are independent
