Thank you so much for your very good idea. Because of that, I already got the E[Y].
Can you still help me in finding the distribution of Y?
I am confused about this one I made:
P[Y] = \int^{0}_{1} \left[nCy x^{y} (1-x)^{n-y} dx\right]
I understand that is a a beta function if we...

Suppose X ~ uniform (0,1) and the conditional distribution of Y given X = x is binomial (n, p=x), i.e. P(Y=y|X=x) = nCy x^{y} (1-x)^{n-y} for y = 0, 1,..., n. Homework Equations

okay, let me see if I figure this out right.
i) The sign of (x-b)f(x) over the interval is positive.
ii) The sign of the integral of (x-b)f(x) is positive.
iii) Substituting b to m in the expression
E(|X-m|) + 2 \int_b^m (x-b) f(x) \, dx
results to
E(|X-b|) + 2 \int_b^b (x-b)...

Let X be a continuous random variable with median m.
Minimize E[|X - b|] as a function of b. Hint: Show that E[|X - b|] = E[|X - m|] + 2 \int (x - b) f(x) dx , where the integral is from b to m.

lanedance, you gave me a very idea in solving this problem.
P(x=0) = P(00)=(3/4)*(3/4)=9/16
p(X=1) = p(b0) + P(0b) = (1/4)*(3/4) + (3/4)*(1/4) = 6/16
P(x=2) = P(bb) = (1/4)*(1/4) = 1/16
now the cdf follows:
F(x) = o for 0>x
F(x) = 9/16 for 0<=x<1
F(x) = 5/16 for...
Thank you for guiding me here.
