Section 3-6 (These problems are not from the book chapter 3 selection) - We are given two functions;
V = g(x,y) = 3X + 5Y
W = h(x,y) = X + 2Y.
The joint PDF of RV X and Y is given as fxy(x,y)=exp[-1/2(x2+y2
)]. What is the joint PDF of the
two new RVs V=g(X,Y) and W=h(X,Y)? - Consider two RVs X and Y with joint PDF fxy(x,y). Determine the PDF of Z if Z=X/Y
and W=Y.

Matlab Problem HW 6
In matlab add ‘L’ independent uniformly distributed random
variables using the code below. Z=X1+X2+X3+…XL.
From the resulting sum of the L random variables, you can use
the code below to plot the probability mass function. - What is the distribution of the RV Z? Plot out your
probability mass function. Comment on the type of
distribution you anticipate based on the principles of the
Central Limit Theorem. - Use the lillietest.m function to test for your anticipated
distribution. - How many random variables (setting of the input variable L)
must me added before the distribution converges to the
distribution consistent with the principles of the Central
Limit Theorem? Demonstrate this with the test in b.) above.
Show all your work and code as well as the output of your
code.
