Problem 4. Sophia's vacation
572 points (graded)
Sophia is vacationing in Monte Carlo. On any given night, she takes x dollars to the casino and returns
with Y dollars. The random variable x has the PDF shown in the figure. Conditional on x=x, the
continuous random variable Y is uniformly distributed between zero and 3x.
Determine the joint PDF fx,Y(x,y).
If03x:
fX,Y(x,y)=
On any particular night, Sophia makes a profit Z=Y-x dollars. Find the probability that Sophia
makes a positive profit, that is, find P(Z>0).
P(Z>0)=
Find the PDF of Z. Express your answers in terms of z using standard notation.
Hint: Start by finding fZ|x(z|x).
z-40z>800E[Z]E[Z]=
