Question

(a) Let Y be a continuous random variable uniformly distributed on [0, 10]. Suppose X = [Y] (the floor function). What is the probability mass function of X? (b) Let Y be a continuous random variable on [0, 10] with density function FY(y) = e/(e-1) * (0.1)e^(-0.1y). Suppose, again that X = [Y] (the floor function). What is the probability mass function of X?

Step 1

Since Y is continuous and X takes integer values, we can find the probability of X taking a specific integer value by integrating the pdf of Y over the corresponding interval. For example, P(X = 0) corresponds to the interval [0, 1), P(X = 1) corresponds to the Show more…
