    How to visualize joint uniform distribution

    Lets say you have X and Y, where the joint density function for X and Y is uniform over the region defined by 0<=x<=y<=L, where L is some positive constant. The question asks for the expected value of the squares of X and Y. I am having trouble visualizing what such a distribution would...

    Geometric Distribution, Poisson

    The problem is the following; N has a geometric distribution with Pr(N=0)>0. M has a Poisson distribution. You are given: E(N) = E(M); Var(N) = 2Var(M) Calculate Pr (M>1). From general knowledge we know that the expected value of a variable in a geometric distribution E(N) =...
