Question
2. Xavier and Yancy agree to meet for lunch between noon (0:00pm) and
1:00pm. Let X denote Xavier's arrival time and let Y denote Yancy's arrival
time. Suppose X and Y are independent random variables with the
following pdf's:
fx(x) = {3x² 0 <x<1
O otherwise
fr(y) = {?y 0 < y<1
0 otherwise
What is the expected amount of time that the one who arrives first must
wait for the other person? Hint 1: let h(X,Y) = |X – Y|
Hint 2: E(h(X,Y) = SS, h(x,y) fx· fy dydx
Hint 3: You will have to split of the integral in hint 2 as two integrals, one
where x<y and the other where y<x.
