Question
If X1 and X2 are independent random variables having
exponential densities with the parameters θ1 and θ2, use
the distribution function technique to find the probability
density of Y = X1 + X2 when
(a) θ1 Z θ2;
(b) θ1 = θ2.
(Example 3 is a special case of this with θ1 = 1
3 and
θ2 = 1
2 .)
