Pdf of sum of two random variables problem

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the probability density function (PDF) of the sum and product of two random variables, specifically focusing on the integration involved in determining these functions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Mathematical reasoning, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the application of a theorem related to PDFs and integration. Questions are raised about the integration bounds and the reasoning behind them, particularly concerning the determination of the shaded area for computing the PDF of W=X+Y.

Discussion Status

The conversation includes attempts to clarify the integration process and bounds, with some participants providing insights into the expected limits of integration. There is an ongoing exploration of the concepts without a clear consensus on the specific methods to apply.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention constraints regarding the values of the random variables, such as X being at least 0, which may influence the integration bounds discussed.

Hi, everybody.

My problem is about Probability and Random Process.

i can't understand the probability density function of sum of two random variables and function of product of two random variables.

Here is my question with a part of a solution:

how can i find these problems solutions and where can i study on the internet ?

What exactly don't you understand? This is a theorem that is been applied along with a simple integration..
 
why integral goes to 0 and w, how can i determine the bounds of that integral ? how can i determine the shaded area for computing the PDF of W=X+Y ?
 
The integration bounds was supposed to be from -infinity to infinity; bascially the minimum x and maximum x. X is at least 0. X= W-y. So x is at most W; corresponding to y=0.
