Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around finding the marginal distributions and expectations for continuous random variables X, Y, and Z, given a specified joint density function. The problem is situated within the context of probability theory and statistics.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the need to integrate the joint density function to find marginals and expectations. There is mention of integrating out variables to obtain marginal distributions, and some participants express uncertainty about the correct approach to take, particularly with three variables.

Discussion Status

Some guidance has been offered regarding the integration process for finding expectations and marginals, but there remains a lack of consensus on the correct methods to apply. Participants are exploring different interpretations of the problem and sharing their attempts.

Contextual Notes

There is an indication that some participants may be unfamiliar with handling three-variable problems, which could affect their approach to the homework. Additionally, there is a note that the original poster has not provided a complete attempt at the problem.

hiii every body

i have Home Work could some one help me to solve this Question" or give me the guide

X, Y and Z are continuous random variables with joint density


F(x,y,z)= {(3/32 x^2) y+[1/48(x+y)z For 0<x<2,
0<y<1
0<z<4
elswhere =0


1) find the marginal of x,y and z
2)find E(x), E(y) and E(z)

Someone shortly will tell you to post this in the homework section. To get the expectation of x integrate the x*F(x,y,z) over the domain. I forgot what the marginal is but looking at wikipedia it seems to be the distribution of a subset of the other random variables. So I presume to get the marginal in tems of x you integrate out the y and z variables.
 
John Creighto thank u dear
 
Apologize to forget to provide attempt part:

1) find the marginal of x,y and z:
i have try to integrate x and y together
then the result be numbers with i reintegrate z to find the result
i don't know if this way is true
2)find E(x), E(y) and E(z)
this question provide with 3 variable and i know only to solve by 2 variable

someone help me please
