Question
There are two traffic lights on my way to work. Let X1 be the number of lights at which I must stop, and suppose that the distribution of X1 is as follows.
Let X2 be the number of lights at which I must stop on the way home; X2 is independent of X1. Assume that X2 has the same distribution as X1, so that X1, X2 is a random sample of size n = 2.
(a) Let To = X1 + X2, and determine the probability distribution of To.
(b) Calculate ?To.
How does it relate to ?, the population mean?
?To = ____________________ · ?
(c) Calculate ?To2.
How does it relate to ?2, the population variance?
?To2 = __________________ · ?2
Explanation / Answer
a)
as P(To)=P(X1)*P(X2)
therefore below is probability distribution:
b)?To =3.0
?To =2 *?
c) ?To2 =0.90
?To2 =2* ?2
To 0 1 2 3 4 p(To) 0.01 0.06 0.21 0.36 0.36Related Questions
