Question:
62. Let X1 and X2 be independent, each having a standard normal distribution. The pair (X1, X2) corresponds to a point in a two-dimensional coordinate system. Consider now changing to polar coordinates via the transformation Y2 g arctan a X2 X1 b X1 0, X2 0 arctan a X2 X1 b 2p X1 0, X2 0 arctan a X2 X1 b p X1 0 0 X1 0 Y1 X21
X22
e 8x1x2x3 0 x1 1, 0 x2 1, 0 x3 1 0 otherwise f1x1, x2, x3 2 from which .
Obtain the joint pdf of the new variables and then the marginal distribution of each one. Note: It would be nice if we could simply let Y2 arctan(X2/X1), but in order to ensure invertibility of the arctan function, it is de ned to take on values only between
p/2 and p/2. Our speci cation of Y2 allows it to assume any value between 0 and 2p.
