Let Y1 be a binomial random variable with n1 trials and probability of success given by p. Let Y2 be another binomial random variable with n2 trials and probability of success also given by p. If Y1 and Y2 are independent, find the probability function of U = Y1 + Y2. (Enter combinations using the formula (n/r) = n! / r!(n - r)!) pU(u) =

Step 1
We have two independent binomial random variables \( Y_1 \) and \( Y_2 \) with parameters \( (n_1, p) \) and \( (n_2, p) \) respectively. We need to find the probability function of \( U = Y_1 + Y_2 \). Show more…
