  1. cX~饾殴(t,饾泴/c)
  2. 饾挸2n22n~饾殴(n,饾浑)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Content Introduction.

The derivative of the CDF is the probability density function f(x), abbreviated PDF if it exists. A distribution functionFx describes each random variableX.

02

Step 2. Explanation (Part a).

We are given that X has a Gamma distribution with parameters tand. Let's find the CDF of cX. We have that

FcX(z)=P(cXz)=P(Xzc)=FX(zc)

Hence,

fcX(z)=ddzFX(zc)=fX(zc).1c

which implies that,

fcX(z)=t(t)(zc)t-1e-zc.1c=(c)t(t)zt-1e-cz

So, we see thatcX~饾殴(t,c)

03

Step 3. Explanation (Part b)

Take any z > 0 and define Z:12X22n, we have that

Fz(z)=P(Zz)=P(12X22nz)=P(X22n2z)=Fx22n(2z)

Hence we get that

fZ(z)=ddzFz(z)=ddzFx22n(2z)=n(n)zn-1e-z

A chi-squared random variable with 2n degrees of freedom can be regarded as being the sum of n independent chi-square random variables each with 2 degrees of freedom (which for Example is equivalent to an exponential random variable with a parameter ). Hence Proposition X22nis a gamma random variable with parameters (n,1/2)and the results now follow from part (a)

Then use your result to show that X/Yhas a Cauchy distribution.

Each throw of an unfair die lands on each of the odd numbers 1,3,5with probability C and on each of the even numbers with probability 2C.

(a) Find C.

(b) Suppose that the die is tossed. Let X equal 1if the result is an even number, and let it be 0otherwise. Also, let Y equal 1if the result is a number greater than three and let it be 0otherwise. Find the joint probability mass function of X and Y. Suppose now that 12independent tosses of the die are made.

(c) Find the probability that each of the six outcomes occurs exactly twice.

(d) Find the probability that 4of the outcomes are either one or two, 4are either three or four, and 4are either five or six.

(e) Find the probability that at least 8of the tosses land on even numbers.

A bin of 5 transistors is known to contain 2 that are defective. The transistors are to be tested, one at a time, until the defective ones are identified. Denote by N1 the number of tests made until the first defective is identified and by N2 the number of additional tests until the second defective is identified. Find the joint probability mass function of N1 and N2.

An insurance company supposes that each person has an accident parameter and that the yearly number of accidents of someone whose accident parameter is 位 is Poisson distributed with mean 位. They also suppose that the parameter value of a newly insured person can be assumed to be the value of a gamma random variable with parameters s and 伪. If a newly insured person has n accidents in her first year, find the conditional density of her accident parameter. Also, determine the expected number of accidents that she will have in the following year.

The joint probability mass function of the random variables X, Y, Z is

p(1,2,3)=p(2,1,1)=p(2,2,1)=p(2,3,2)=14
