Math Problem Statement

Solve the problem involving integrals and probability distribution based on the given functions and relations.

Solution

This exercise involves integrals, functional properties, and probability concepts. Let’s analyze and solve the problems one by one.

1. For Jn=02πxncos(x)dxJ_n = \int_{0}^{2\pi} x^n \cos(x) dx and In=02πxnsin(x)dxI_n = \int_{0}^{2\pi} x^n \sin(x) dx:

(a) Justify the existence of InI_n and JnJ_n:

The integrals InI_n and JnJ_n exist because:

  • xnx^n is a polynomial function, and both cos(x)\cos(x) and sin(x)\sin(x) are continuous over [0,2π][0, 2\pi].
  • The product of a polynomial and a continuous trigonometric function is integrable over the finite interval [0,2π][0, 2\pi], hence the integrals converge.

(b) Prove the recurrence relations:

We can use integration by parts:

  1. Let u=xnu = x^n, dv=cos(x)dxdv = \cos(x)dx. Then du=nxn1dxdu = n x^{n-1}dx, v=sin(x)v = \sin(x). Jn=[xnsin(x)]02π02πnxn1sin(x)dxJ_n = \left[x^n \sin(x)\right]_0^{2\pi} - \int_{0}^{2\pi} n x^{n-1} \sin(x) dx The boundary term [xnsin(x)]02π\left[x^n \sin(x)\right]_0^{2\pi} evaluates to 0 (since sin(0)=sin(2π)=0\sin(0) = \sin(2\pi) = 0). Jn=nIn1J_n = -n I_{n-1}

  2. Similarly, for InI_n, let u=xnu = x^n, dv=sin(x)dxdv = \sin(x)dx. Then du=nxn1dxdu = n x^{n-1}dx, v=cos(x)v = -\cos(x): In=[xncos(x)]02π+02πnxn1cos(x)dxI_n = \left[-x^n \cos(x)\right]_0^{2\pi} + \int_{0}^{2\pi} n x^{n-1} \cos(x) dx Again, the boundary term [xncos(x)]02π\left[-x^n \cos(x)\right]_0^{2\pi} is zero (since cos(0)=cos(2π)\cos(0) = \cos(2\pi)). Thus: In=nJn1I_n = n J_{n-1}

These two relations can be combined recursively to show: Jn+1=(n+1)Jn(2π)n+1andJn+1=(n+1)In.J_{n+1} = (n+1)J_n - (2\pi)^{n+1} \quad \text{and} \quad J_{n+1} = -(n+1)I_n.

(c) Compute InI_n and JnJ_n for n=0,1,2,3n = 0, 1, 2, 3:

Using the recurrence relations:

  1. J0=02πcos(x)dx=[sin(x)]02π=0J_0 = \int_{0}^{2\pi} \cos(x) dx = \left[\sin(x)\right]_0^{2\pi} = 0.
  2. I0=02πsin(x)dx=[cos(x)]02π=0I_0 = \int_{0}^{2\pi} \sin(x) dx = \left[-\cos(x)\right]_0^{2\pi} = 0.
  3. Compute J1,I1J_1, I_1, and so on using the relations.

2. For f(x)=x2π2(1cos(x))f(x) = \frac{x}{2\pi^2}(1 - \cos(x)) on [0,2π][0, 2\pi] and f(x)=0f(x) = 0 elsewhere:

(a) Show ff is a probability density:

To prove ff is a probability density function, we need to check:

  1. f(x)0f(x) \geq 0 for all xx.
    • x2π20\frac{x}{2\pi^2} \geq 0 for x[0,2π]x \in [0, 2\pi], and 1cos(x)01 - \cos(x) \geq 0.
    • Hence, f(x)0f(x) \geq 0.
  2. The integral of f(x)f(x) over its support [0,2π][0, 2\pi] equals 1: 02πx2π2(1cos(x))dx.\int_{0}^{2\pi} \frac{x}{2\pi^2}(1 - \cos(x)) dx. Compute this integral explicitly to verify normalization.

(b) Find the cumulative distribution function F(x)F(x):

The CDF is given by: F(x)=0xf(t)dt=0xt2π2(1cos(t))dt.F(x) = \int_{0}^{x} f(t) dt = \int_{0}^{x} \frac{t}{2\pi^2}(1 - \cos(t)) dt. Compute this integral step-by-step to express F(x)F(x) explicitly.

(c) Determine E(X)E(X):

The expectation E(X)E(X) is: E(X)=02πxf(x)dx=02πxx2π2(1cos(x))dx.E(X) = \int_{0}^{2\pi} x f(x) dx = \int_{0}^{2\pi} x \cdot \frac{x}{2\pi^2}(1 - \cos(x)) dx. Simplify and evaluate.

(d) Calculate probabilities:

  1. P(X>π2)=1F(π2)P(X > \frac{\pi}{2}) = 1 - F(\frac{\pi}{2}).
  2. P(Xππ2)=F(π+π2)F(ππ2)P(\lvert X - \pi \rvert \leq \frac{\pi}{2}) = F(\pi + \frac{\pi}{2}) - F(\pi - \frac{\pi}{2}).
  3. P(X<3π4Xπ2)P(X < \frac{3\pi}{4} \,|\, X \geq \frac{\pi}{2}): Use conditional probability: P(X<3π4Xπ2)=P(π2X<3π4)P(Xπ2).P(X < \frac{3\pi}{4} \,|\, X \geq \frac{\pi}{2}) = \frac{P(\frac{\pi}{2} \leq X < \frac{3\pi}{4})}{P(X \geq \frac{\pi}{2})}.
