The number of accidents that a person has in a given year is a Poisson random variable with mean ̣ However, suppose that the value of changes from person to person, being equal to for percent of the population and for the other percent. If a person is chosen at random, what is the probability that he will have
(a) accidents and,
(b) Exactly accidents in a certain year? What is the conditional probability that he will have accidents in a given year, given that he had no accidents the preceding year?
Let be a sequence of independent and identically distributed continuous random variables. Let be such that
That is, is the point at which the sequence stops decreasing. Show that .
Hint: First find .
A fair die is rolled times. Calculate the expected sum of the rolls.
Let be arbitrary events, and define
{at least of the occur}. Show that
Hint: Let denote the number of the that occur. Show
that both sides of the preceding equation are equal to .
If where a and b are constants, express the moment generating function of in terms of the moment generating function of .
