Let X1, X2 represent the times necessary to perform two successive repair tasks at a certain service facility. Suppose they are independent, normal random variables, with expected values of ?1=40, ?2=50, and standard deviations ?1^2 = 9 and ?2^2 = 16 respectively. a. What is the mean and standard deviation of Y = X1 - (0.5)X2? ANS: Mean = ANS: SD= b. What is the probability that Y is less than 20? ANS:

Step 1
We are given that $X_1$ and $X_2$ are independent normal random variables with means $\mu_1 = 40$, $\mu_2 = 50$, and standard deviations $\sigma_1 = 16$, $\sigma_2 = 16$. Show more…

consider the probability distribution for ramdon sample variable x which can only obtain the values 0,2,4 and 6. X 0, 2, 4, 6 P(X=x) 0.2, 0.2, 0.3, p a. is this distribution continuous or discrete? b. assume that X is a valid probability mass function. what is the value of p? c. find E(X) the expected value and V(X) the variance of X d. assume that Y ~ N(1, 4) and W=2X+Y. If X and Y are independent what is E(W) and V(W)

Let $X$ and $Y$ have a bivariate normal distribution with parameters $\mu_{1}=$ $20, \mu_{2}=40, \sigma_{1}^{2}=9, \sigma_{2}^{2}=4$, and $\rho=0.6 .$ Find the shortest interval for which $0.90$ is the conditional probability that $Y$ is in the interval, given that $X=22$.
