Stats q

It's a cdf, so lim as x goes to infinity is always 1.

You have a bigger problem. The cdf should never go down as x increases. Can you see what you've missed out?

For 3.

It would help to draw a diagram, with X1 and X2 being the axes. You want max(X1,X2} = Y,

Let Y equal any value and try plotting the valid region.

For 3, I dont understand. I drew a diagram loke.you said. With (1,1) being the top right corner. Like a box of area 1. The pdf is just Y~U(0,1) isnt it. And for tje P (Y<=y) part, im lost.

No.

For parts x>0 you need to add in the intergral from -infinty to 0 to what you're already doing.

F(x) = integral from minus infinity to x.



Set Y to a specific value, say 1/2. Then what area in your diagram represent Y<1/2?

If Y < 1/2, then what are the possibilities of X1 and X2?

Really confused with 2. You mean like this?

Ish.

$\displaystyle F(s) = \int_{-\infty}^s f(x)\;dx$

But because f(x) is defined in two pieces; if s is greater than zero, then, this works out to be:

$\displaystyle F(s) = \int_{-\infty}^0 ce^x\;dx+\int^{s}_0ce^{-x}\;dx$

Can ypu explain how you figured that out? So I know that the cdf should always be increasing with x increasing.
And this pdf graph looked like a symmetrical exp graph. How did you know to chamge the limits like that
