Probability - point inside disk












0












$begingroup$



$X, Y sim mathcal{N}(0,1)$ are independent random variables. Let $D_r$ be the disk centered at the origin with radius $r$. Find $r$ such that $mathbb{P}[(X,Y) in D_r ] = 0.3$.




My attempt: $(X, Y) in D_r$ means $X^2 + Y^2 le r^2$. What should I do next?

    Yours is not really an attempt at all. Maybe do some integration? What is the law of the couple $(X,Y)$?

HINT



For any event $A$, you have
$$
mathbb{P}[A] = iint_{mathbb{R}^2} mathbb{I}_{A(x,y)}f(x,y)dxdy,
$$
and in your case, since $X$ and $Y$ are independent, $f(x,y) = phi(x) phi(y)$.



Convert the integration over the plane with an indicator function to integrating over a region, where the indicator is always true, and compute the probability...

    The pdf of $X$ is $f_X(x)=frac{e^{-x^2/2}}{sqrt{2pi}}$. Same for $Y$. The pdf for $(X,Y)$ is $f_{X,Y}(x,y)=f_X(x)f_Y(y) = frac{e^{-(x^2+y^2)/2}}{2pi}$. In polar coordinates,
    $$
    begin{split}
    mathbb P(B_R) &=
    int_{-infty}^inftyint_{-infty}^infty mathbf 1_{x^2+y^2<R}(x,y)f_{X,Y}(x,y),dx,dy \
    &= int_{-infty}^inftyint_{-infty}^infty mathbf 1_{x^2+y^2<R}(x,y)frac{e^{-(x^2+y^2)/2}}{2pi}(x,y),dx,dy \
    &= int_0^R 2pi r frac{e^{-r^2/2}}{2pi},dr \
    &= 1-e^{R^2/2}.

            How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

            Image
            3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

            Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

            Image
            up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
