Show all necessary solutions.
1. A random variable X denotes the number of books bought by a customer in a bookstore. We
know that the random variable has the distribution
P(0 < X< 1) = E P(1 <X < 2) = ,
P(0 < X < 3) = , P(X = 3) = P(X > 4).

Compute P(X = i) for every i = 1, 2, 3.
2. Let F be given by
if t < 0,
a
if t € [0, 2),
2c +b if t e [2, 3),
F(t) =
d
if t > 3.
a. Under which conditions on a, b, c, d is the function F a cumulative distribution function?
b. Assume that F is the c.d.f. of an r.v. X. Compute the law of X.
3. Let X ~
Geometric(p) with pe (0, 1). Prove that for every a, b eN we have
P(X = a + b|X > a) = P(X = b).
4. Let X be a discrete random variable with the following distribution:
P(X = -3) = a, P(X = -2) = , P(X = -1) = b,
P(X = 0) = 6, P(X =1) = c,
P(X = 2) = 2
a. Find a, b, c.
b. Calculate E(3+ 2X), E(3+ 2X), Var(3+ 2X).
5. Derive the expected value of the random variable X with distribution Negative Binomial(r, p).
