# Math Help - Help with probability density function questions

1. ## Help with probability density function questions

Let {N(t):t>=0} be a poisson process of rate 1 and let T1 < T2 <... denote the times of the points. Derive the pdf of Y=T1/T3 and obtain E(Y).

Let X,Y be iid N(0,1). Derive the pdf of W=|x|/Y.

Thanks a lot!

The times T1, T2, ..., Tn are sums of exponentials and have Gamma distributions (see here). The ratio between two Gamma is a compound Gamma (see here)

Thanks for the reply, so both T1 and T3 have gamma distributions? I don't really know how to derive a compound gamma equations, can you explain a little bit more?
