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 \({\rm{X}}\)denote the number of hoses being used on the self-service island at a particular time, and let\({\rm{Y}}\)denote the number of hoses on the full-service island in use at that time. The joint \({\rm{pmf}}\) of \({\rm{X}}\)and \({\rm{Y}}\) appears in the accompanying tabulation.

a. What is\({\rm{P(X = 1 and Y = 1)}}\)?

b. Compute P(X拢1}and{Y拢1)

c. Give a word description of the event , and compute the probability of this event.

d. Compute the marginal \({\rm{pmf}}\) of \({\rm{X}}\)and of \({\rm{Y}}\). Using \({{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(x)}}\)what is P(X拢1)?

Step by step solution

01

Definition of probability

The proportion of the total number of conceivable outcomes to the number of options in an exhaustive collection of equally likely outcomes that cause a given occurrence.

02

Determining the \({\rm{P(X = 1 and Y = 1)}}\)

Consider the discrete random variables \({\rm{X and Y}}\)

\({\rm{p(x,y)}}\)is the joint probability mass function

\({\rm{p(x,y) = P(X = x,Y = y)}}\)

and \(\mathop {\rm{{aa}}}\limits_{\rm{x}} {\rm{n}}\mathop {\rm{{aa}}}\limits_{\rm{y}} {\rm{np(x,y) = 1}}\)for every pair \({\rm{(x,y)}}\)

(a) The following is true, as we can see from the definition above.

\({\rm{P(X = 1\;and\;Y = 1) = p(1,1) = 0}}{\rm{.2}}\)

where the value can be found in the supplied table

03

Determining \({\rm{P(X£ 1 and Y£ 1)}}\)

(b) The following vacations

\(\begin{aligned}{}{P(X拢1\;and\;Y拢1)\mathop = \limits^{(1)} p(0,0) + p(0,1) + p(1,0) + p(1,1)} \\{= 0.1 + 0.04 + 0.08 + 0.2} \\{ = 0.42.}\end{aligned}\)

(1): the occurrence

\(\{ X拢1\;and\;Y拢1\} \)

can be written as the sum of four separate events

\({\rm{\{ X = 0,Y = 0\} ,\{ X = 0,Y = 1\} ,\{ X = 1,Y = 0\} ,\{ X = 1,Y = 1\} }}{\rm{.}}\)

04

Determining the probability of this event. 

(c) Because neither random variable is equal to zero, at least one of the hoses is used on both islands.

The likelihood of the given event is as follows:

\(\begin{aligned}{P(X0\;and\;Y0)\mathop= \limits^{(2)} p(1,1) + p(1,2) + p(2,1) + p(2,2)} \\{ = 0.2 + 0.06 + 0.14 + 0.3}\\{ = 0.7.}\end{aligned}\)

05

Determining the marginal \({\rm{pmf}}\) of \({\rm{X}}\) and of \({\rm{Y}}\)

(d) The mass function of marginal probability

random variable that is discrete \({\rm{X}}\) is

\({{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(x) = }}\mathop {\rm{{aa}}}\limits_{\rm{y}} {\rm{np(x,y),}}\;\;\;{\rm{\;for every\;x}}\)

The mass function of marginal probability

random variable that is discrete \({\rm{Y}}\)is

\({{\rm{p}}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{(y) = }}\mathop {\rm{{aa}}}\limits_{\rm{x}} {\rm{np(x,y),}}\;\;\;{\rm{\;for every\;y}}{\rm{.}}\)

The following is true for \({\rm{x^I \{ 0,1,2\} }}\). according to the definition.

\({{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(x) = }}\mathop {\rm{{aa}}}\limits_{{\rm{y\^I \{ 0,1,2\} }}} {\rm{np(x,y) = p(x,0) + p(x,1) + p(x,2)}}{\rm{.}}\)

The marginal probability is the sum of each row for every \({\rm{x^I \{ 0,1,2\} }}\). As a result, we've

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(0) = 0}}{\rm{.1 + 0}}{\rm{.04 + 0}}{\rm{.02 = 0}}{\rm{.16,}}}\\{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(1) = 0}}{\rm{.08 + 0}}{\rm{.2 + 0}}{\rm{.06 = 0}}{\rm{.34,}}}\\{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(2) = 0}}{\rm{.06 + 0}}{\rm{.14 + 0}}{\rm{.3 = 0}}{\rm{.5,}}}\end{array}\)

which calculates \({\rm{X }}\)marginal \({\rm{pmf}}\)

Similarly, for \({\rm{Y}}\)marginal \({\rm{pmf}}\), we get

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{(0) = 0}}{\rm{.1 + 0}}{\rm{.08 + 0}}{\rm{.06 = 0}}{\rm{.24}}}\\{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{(1) = 0}}{\rm{.04 + 0}}{\rm{.2 + 0}}{\rm{.14 = 0}}{\rm{.38}}}\end{array}\)

\({{\rm{p}}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{(2) = 0}}{\rm{.02 + 0}}{\rm{.06 + 0}}{\rm{.3 = 0}}{\rm{.38}}\)

where we add up the probabilities in each column

To summaries, we have \({\rm{X and Y}}\)marginal \({\rm{pmf}}\), respectively, supplied with

\(\begin{aligned}{}{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(0) = 0}}{\rm{.16}}}\\{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(1) = 0}}{\rm{.34}}}\\{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(2) = 0}}{\rm{.5,}}}\\{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(x) = 0,}}\;\;\;{\rm{x"I \{ 0,1,2\} }}{\rm{.}}}\\{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{(1) = 0}}{\rm{.38,}}}\\{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{(2) = 0}}{\rm{.38,}}}\\{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{(y) = 0,}}\;\;\;{\rm{y"I \{ 0,1,2\} }}{\rm{.}}}\end{aligned}\)

Using \({\rm{X }}\)minimal \({\rm{pmf}}\), we get

\(P(X拢1) = {p_X}(0) + {p_X}(1) = 0.16 + 0.34 = 0.5.\)

06

Determining \({\rm{X}}\) and\({\rm{Y}}\)independent \({\rm{rv's}}\)

(e) If and only if, two random variables \({\rm{X and Y}}\)are independent.

1.\({\rm{p(x,y) = }}{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(x) \times }}{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{(y)}}\)

where \({\rm{X and Y}}\)are discrete \({\rm{rv's}}\), for every \({\rm{(x,y)}}\)

2. \({\rm{f(x,y) = }}{{\rm{f}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(x) \times }}{{\rm{f}}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{(y)}}\)

where \({\rm{X and Y}}\)are discrete \({\rm{rv's}}\), for every \({\rm{(x,y)}}\)

Otherwise, they are reliant on the following factors:

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{(2) \times }}{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{(2) = 0}}{\rm{.5 \times 0}}{\rm{.38 = 0}}{\rm{.19}}}\\{{\rm{p(2,2) = 0}}{\rm{.3}}}\end{array}\)

It leads us to the conclusion that the following holds true for the pair \({\rm{(2,2)}}\)

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{p(2,2) = 0.30.19 = {p_X}(2) \times {p_Y}(2)} \\{p(2,2){p_X}(2) \times {p_Y}(2)}\end{array}\)

The random variables are so dependent.

Most popular questions from this chapter

A binary communication channel transmits a sequence of 鈥渂its鈥 (\({\bf{0s}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{and}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{1s}}\)). Suppose that for any particular bit transmitted, there is a\({\bf{10}}\% \)chance of a transmission error (a zero becoming a one or a one becoming a zero). Assume that bit errors occur independently of one another.

a. Consider transmitting\(1000\)bits. What is the approximate probability that at most\(125\)transmission errors occur?

b. Suppose the same\(1000\)-bit message is sent two different times independently of one another. What is the approximate probability that the number of errors in the first transmission is within\(50\)of the number of errors in the second?

Young鈥檚 modulus is a quantitative measure of stiffness of an elastic material. Suppose that for aluminum alloy sheets of a particular type, its mean value and standard deviation are \({\rm{70 GPa}}\) and \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.6 GPa}}\), respectively (values given in the article 鈥淚nfluence of Material Properties Variability on Springback and Thinning in Sheet Stamping Processes: A Stochastic Analysis鈥 (Intl. J. of Advanced Manuf. Tech., \({\rm{2010:117 - 134}}\))).

  1. If \({\rm{\bar X}}\) is the sample mean young鈥檚 modulus for a random sample of \({\rm{n = 16}}\)sheets, where is the sampling distribution of \({\rm{\bar X}}\)centered, and what is the standard deviation of the \({\rm{\bar X}}\)distribution?
  2. Answer the questions posed in part (a) for a sample size of \({\rm{n = 64}}\)sheets.
  3. For which of the two random samples, the one of part (a) or the one of part (b), is \({\rm{\bar X}}\) more likely to be within \({\rm{1GPa}}\) of \({\rm{70 GPa}}\)? Explain your reasoning.

A surveyor wishes to lay out a square region with each side having length\({\rm{L}}\). However, because of a measurement error, he instead lays out a rectangle in which the north-south sides both have length \({\rm{X}}\) and the east-west sides both have length\({\rm{Y}}\). Suppose that \({\rm{X}}\) and \({\rm{Y}}\) are independent and that each is uniformly distributed on the interval \({\rm{(L - A,L + A)}}\) (where \({\rm{0 < A < L}}\) ). What is the expected area of the resulting rectangle?

Six individuals, including \({\rm{A}}\) and \({\rm{B}}\), take seats around a circular table in a completely random fashion. Suppose the seats are numbered\({\rm{1, \ldots ,6}}\). Let \({\rm{X = }}\) A's seat number and \({\rm{Y = B}}\) 's seat number. If A sends a written message around the table to \({\rm{B}}\) in the direction in which they are closest, how many individuals (including A and B) would you expect to handle the message?

Suppose the sediment density (g/cm) of a randomly selected specimen from a certain region is normally distributed with mean \({\rm{2}}{\rm{.65 }}\)and standard deviation \({\rm{.85}}\) (suggested in 鈥淢odeling Sediment and Water Column Interactions for Hydrophobic Pollutants,鈥 Water Research, \({\rm{1984: 1164 - 1174 }}\)).

a. If a random sample of \({\rm{25}}\)specimens is selected, what is the probability that the sample average sediment density is at most \({\rm{3}}{\rm{.00 }}\)? Between \({\rm{2}}{\rm{.65 }}\)and \({\rm{3}}{\rm{.00 }}\)?

b. How large a sample size would be required to ensure that the first probability in part (a) is at least \({\rm{.99}}\)?
