52) Suppose that $(X,Y)$ is the outcome of an experiment that must occur in a particular region $S$ in the $xy$-plane. In this context, the region $S$ is called the sample space of the experiment and $X$ and $Y$ are random variables. If $D$ is a region included in $S$, then the probability of $(X,Y)$ being in $D$ is defined as $P[(X,Y) \in D] = \iint_D p(x,y)dx \space dy$, where $p(x,y)$ is the joint probability density of the experiment. Here, $p(x,y)$ is a nonnegative function for which $\iint_S p(x,y) dx \space dy = 1$. Assume that a point $(X,Y)$ is chosen arbitrarily in the square $[0,3] \times [0,3]$ with the probability density

\[p(x,y) = \frac{1}{9} (x,y) \in [0,3] \times [0,3],\nonumber \]

\[p(x,y) = 0 \space \text{otherwise}\nonumber \]

Find the probability that the point $(X,Y)$ is inside the unit square and interpret the result.

53) Consider $X$ and $Y$ two random variables of probability densities $p_1(x)$ and $p_2(x)$, respectively. The random variables $X$ and $Y$ are said to be independent if their joint density function is given by $p_(x,y) = p_1(x)p_2(y)$. At a drive-thru restaurant, customers spend, on average, 3 minutes placing their orders and an additional 5 minutes paying for and picking up their meals. Assume that placing the order and paying for/picking up the meal are two independent events $X$ and $Y$. If the waiting times are modeled by the exponential probability densities

\[p_1(x) = \frac{1}{3}e^{-x/3} \space x\geq 0,\nonumber \]

\[p_1(x) = 0 \space \text{otherwise}\nonumber \]

\[p_2(y) = \frac{1}{5} e^{-y/5} \space y \geq 0\nonumber \]

\[p_2(y) = 0 \space \text{otherwise}\nonumber \]

respectively, the probability that a customer will spend less than 6 minutes in the drive-thru line is given by $P[X + Y \leq 6] = \iint_D p(x,y) dx \space dy$, where $D = {(x,y)|x \geq 0, \space y \geq 0, \space x + y \leq 6}$. Find $P[X + Y \leq 6]$ and interpret the result.

Answer: $P[X + Y \leq 6] = 1 + \frac{3}{2e^2} - \frac{5}{e^{6/5}} \approx 0.45$; there is a $45\%$ chance that a customer will spend $6$ minutes in the drive-thru line.
