Question

a service station has both self-service .10 0.05 A service station has both self-service and full-service islands. On each island, there is a single regular unleaded pump with two hoses. Let X denote the number of hoses being used on the self-service island at a particular time, and let Y denote the number of hoses on the full-service island in use at that time. The joint pmf of X and Y appears in the accompanying tabulation. p(x, y) 0 0.10 0.05 0.02 10.06 0.20 0.06 2 0.05 0.14 0.32 (a) what is P(X = 1 and Y = 1)? P(X = 1 and Y = 1) (b) Compute P(X s 1 and Y S 1). p(x 1 and 1) . (c) Give a word description of the event (X # 0 and Y # 0). O At most one hose is in use at both islands. One hose is in use on one island. One hose is in use on both islands. At least one hose is in use at both islands. Compute the probability of this event. P(X # 0 and Y 0) = (d) Compute the marginal pmf of X Px(x) Compute the marginal pmf of Y. py(y) Using px(x), what is P(X s 1)? P(X S 1) =

Explanation / Answer

a)

P(X=1,Y=1) =0.20          (from given joint distribution)

b)

P(X<1,Y<1) =P(X=0,Y=0)+P(X=0,Y=1)+P(X=1,Y=0)+P(X=1,Y=1)

                   =0.10+0.05+0.06+0.20=0.41

c)at least one hose is in use at both islands

d)marginal pmf of X

X                          0                                1                              2

P(X)                    0.17                            0.32                        0.51

marginal pmf of Y

Y                               0                              1                              2

P(Y)                       0.21                          0.39                        0.40

e)

P(X<1)=P(X=0)+P(X=1) =0.17+0.32=0.49
