The amount of water in a reservoir at the beginning of the day is a random variable X and the amount of water taken from the reservoir during the day is a random variable Y . The joint pdf for X and Y is f (x, y) = { 1/200, 0 < y < x < 20; 0, otherwise. Use the distribution function technique to find the pdf of the amount of water left in the reservoir at the end of the day

Question

The amount of water in a reservoir at the beginning of the day is a random variable X and the
amount of water taken from the reservoir during the day is a random variable Y . The joint pdf
for X and Y is
f (x, y) =
{
1/200, 0 < y < x < 20;
0, otherwise.
Use the distribution function technique to find the pdf of the amount of water left in the
reservoir at the end of the day

Expression, rule, or law that gives the relationship between an independent variable and dependent variable. Some important types of functions are injective function, surjective function, polynomial function, and inverse function.
