Question:
10. A personal computer manufacturer produces both desktop computers and notebook computers. The monthly proportions of customer orders received for desktop and notebook computers that are shipped within 1 week’s time can be viewed as the outcome of a bivariate random variable (X,Y) with joint probability density fðx; yÞ¼ð2 x yÞI½0;1 ðxÞI½0;1 ðyÞ:
a. In a given month, what is the probability that more than 75 percent of notebook computers and 75 percent of desktop computers are shipped within 1 week of ordering?
b. Assuming that an equal number of desktop and notebook computers are ordered in a given month, what is the probability that more than 75 percent of all orders received will be shipped within 1 week?
c. Are the random variables independent?
d. Define the conditional probability that less than 50 percent of the notebook orders are shipped within 1 week, given that x proportion of the desktop orders are shipped within 1 week (the probability will be a function of the proportion x). How does this probability change as x increases?
