Q51Section C (Section C)51 of 60

Mean of a variable whose conditional law is uniform on zero to y

Let Y∼U(0,1)Y\sim U(0,1). The conditional probability density function of XX given YY is

fX∣Y(x∣y)={1y,0<x<y<1, 0,otherwise.f_{X|Y}(x|y)=\begin{cases}\frac1y, & 0<x<y<1,\ 0, & \text{otherwise.}\end{cases}

Then E(X)=E(X)= ___________.

Numerical answer: type the number (no options).

Type your answer and check it.
