Point taken. I'm going down this path now:
F_{A+B+C} = P(A+B+C \le x)
= \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \int_{-\infty}^{x-b-c} f_A(a) f_B(b) f_C(c) da db dc
= \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} F_A(x-b-c) f_B(b) f_C(c) db dc
Not sure where to go next...

Homework Statement
Assume regression model y_i = \alpha + \beta x_i + \epsilon_i with E[\epsilon_i] = 0, E[\epsilon^2] = \sigma^2, E[\epsilon_i \epsilon_j] = 0 where i \ne j. Suppose that we are given data in deviations from sample means.
If we regress (y_i-\bar{y}) on (x_i-\bar{x}) without a...

I know I need to align the first moment of the beta distribution with the...
I thought I understood it, but something is not correct. just working on the denominator, I get f_X(x)=-2(e^{-(x+y)}-e^{-x}) and then if I try to integrate that I get \int_0^1 f_X(x) dx = 2e^{-y-1}+2e^{-y}+e^{-1}+1 What am I missing here?
I'm thinking that would be something like this:
P(A) = P(Y<1)
P(B) = P(X<1)=\int_0^1 f_X(x) dx
so then P(A \cap B) =P(Y<1 \cap X<1) = \int_0^1 \int_0^y f_{X,Y}(x,y) dxdy
and then \dfrac{\int_0^1 \int_0^y f_{X,Y}(x,y) dxdy}{\int_0^1 f_X(x) dx}
or am I still not understanding?

good point. I think I see my mistake(s): E[X] + E[Y]=\int_0^{\infty} x \lambda e^{-\lambda x} dx + \int_0^{\infty} y \lambda e^{-\lambda y} dy = - x \dfrac{1}{\lambda} e^{-\lambda x} |_0^{\infty} - \int_0^{\infty} e^{- \lambda x } dx - y \dfrac{1}{\lambda} e^{-\lambda y} |_0^{\infty} -...
