The monthly worldwide average number of airplane crashes of commercial airlines is . What is the probability that there will be (a) more than such accidents in the next month? (b) more than such accidents in the next months? (c) more than such accidents in the next months? Explain your reasoning!
Repeat Problem when X and Y are independent exponential random variables, each with parameter .
Each throw of an unfair die lands on each of the odd numbers with probability C and on each of the even numbers with probability .
(a) Find C.
(b) Suppose that the die is tossed. Let X equal if the result is an even number, and let it be otherwise. Also, let Y equal if the result is a number greater than three and let it be otherwise. Find the joint probability mass function of X and Y. Suppose now that independent tosses of the die are made.
(c) Find the probability that each of the six outcomes occurs exactly twice.
(d) Find the probability that of the outcomes are either one or two, are either three or four, and are either five or six.
(e) Find the probability that at least of the tosses land on even numbers.
