I'm struggling to understand how to start the following:




Let $ X sim operatorname{Exp}(lambda =1), Ysim U(1,2) $ be independent
continuous variables. What is $E(frac{x}{y})$?




Thanks :)

          $E(frac X Y |Y)=frac 1 Y EX=frac 1 Y$. Taking expectation we get $Efrac X Y=Efrac 1 Y=int_1^{2} frac 1 y , dy=ln, 2$.

            Note that this only holds because $Y$ is never zero and thus the division expression is well-defined.

          Guide:



          If $X$ and $Y$ are independent then so are $f(X)$ and $g(Y)$ where $f$ and $g$ are measurable functions.



          Consequence for expectation (if it exists):$$mathbb Ef(X)g(Y)=mathbb Ef(X)mathbb Eg(Y)$$



          This can be applied to find: $$mathbb E[XY^{-1}]=mathbb EXmathbb EY^{-1}$$
          It only remains now to find $mathbb EX$ and $mathbb EY^{-1}$.

                Guide:



                If $X$ and $Y$ are independent then so are $f(X)$ and $g(Y)$ where $f$ and $g$ are measurable functions.



                Consequence for expectation (if it exists):$$mathbb Ef(X)g(Y)=mathbb Ef(X)mathbb Eg(Y)$$



                This can be applied to find: $$mathbb E[XY^{-1}]=mathbb EXmathbb EY^{-1}$$
                It only remains now to find $mathbb EX$ and $mathbb EY^{-1}$.
