Concept explainers
In Example 6.14, Y1 and Y2 were independent exponentially distributed random variables, both with mean β. We defined U1 = Y1/(Y1 + Y2) and U2 = Y1 + Y2 and determined the joint density of (U1, U2) to be
- a Show that U1 is uniformly distributed over the interval (0, 1).
- b Show that U2 has a gamma density with parameters α = 2 and β.
- c Establish that U1 and U2 are independent.
