Let X and Y be two random variables. Let X|Y ~ Exponential with mean 1/Y, and Let Y~ Poisson with mean a, where a is any constant. What is the distribution of Y|X. This is far more difficult than it might seem.
I am going to take a stab at it and say a is humanitys dertermineation to overcome a problem with logical thought and reason yet B is humanitys cess pit witch must first bash any problem with a crude insturment before it can be deemed impossable.
No I do not know the answer. But I do know it is very complicated. It requires use of measure theory, analysis and probability. It is very complex problem. I know how to set it up, but I can't figure out how to take the integral.
Define CMF of r.v Y by G, then f(Y|X)=f(X,Y)/f(X) f(X,Y)=f(X|Y)*dG(Y) f(x)=integral(f(X|Y)*dG(Y)) with respect to Y Issue is f(X|Y) is a continuos function. dG(Y) is a discrete function.
I have always been good at maths but at the level I am studying at, this is a bit too advanced for me :P I'm not really getting the question, then again I'm not going to do your homework for you am I :P

I hate probability questions. After studying tirelessly for months to understand that ****, I'd be glad to never answer a binomial/poisson/normal/uniform/exponential distribution question ever again.
A lvl statistics..?...lol, it would be the one section of maths that i disliked wouldn't it...never liked the approximations etc. i think i'll stick to calculus&mechanics...lol
[QUOTE="xaos"]That's not math, that's probability/statistics :(MrGrime
I think probability/statistics is considered math...
I am so pleased that Googling "statistics is not math" brought this up as the first hit :) I even found a statistics syllabus that made this same assertion *g*
You people are just begging for me to get my hands dirty, but no!!! my native language is spanish I know my share of probabilistics but as longs as I have no idea what is saying I know the Poisson distribution but I have no clue what mean, means or what is the meaning in distribution in spanish I could look, but no!!! this time you people are on your own.

"whatever" (as your signature so appropriately states)
