Problem 3: 10 points Continue with the same assumptions as in Problem 2. Recall that a random variable, Z, has the Gamma distribution with the density: fz (z) = λ2 z exp[-λ z] for z > 0, and fz(z) = 0, elsewhere. Conditionally given Z = z, a random variable, U, is uniformly distributed over the interval, (0, z) 1. Find conditional expectation. EZIU = ul. 2. Find conditional variance, VARZİU-ul 3.

The lifetime of a type-A bulb is exponentially distributed with parameter λ. The lifetime of a type-B bulb is exponentially distributed with parameter μ, where μ>λ>0. You have a box full of lightbulbs of the same type, and you would like to know whether they are of type A or B. Assume an a priori probability of 1/4 that the box contains type-B lightbulbs. Assume that λ=3 and μ=4. Find the LMS estimate of T2, the lifetime of another lightbulb...
