Assume that 11% of Douglas College students are left-handed. Suppose you randomly select 100 students, and let X= the number of left-handed students in the sample. (Douglas has about 25,000 students, so this sample is less than 5% of the population. We can, therefore, assume that each student in the sample is independent of the others, which makes X a binomial random variable.) The expectation is E[X]= 11, but that does not imply that X=11 is highly likely. Calculate P(X= 11). State your answer as a decimal rounded to four decimal %3D places.

Suppose that the random variables Y and X only take the values 0 and 1, and have the following joint probability distribution: Y = 0 Y = 1 X = 0 .4 .1 X = 1 .3 .2 Find E[Y | X], E [Y² | X] and Var[Y | X] for X = 0 and X 1. You may use the fact that Var[Y | X] = E[Y² | X] – E[Y | X]² without a proof.
A bank operates both a drive-up facility and a walk-up window. On a randomly selected day, let X be the proportion of time that the drive-up facility is in use (at least one customer is being served or waiting to be served) and Y be the proportion of time that the walk-up window is in use. The joint PDF is ... fxy (x, y) = 5 (x + y²) • What is the probability that neither window is busy more than one-quarter of the time? • What is f(X)? • What is fy(y)?

The time that it takes to service a car is an exponential random variable with rate 1.1. If A brings his car in at time 0 and B brings his car in at time t, what is the probability thatB’s car is ready before A’s? Assume that the service times are independent, and the servicebegins upon arrival.2. If both cars are brought in at time 0, with work starting on B’s car only when A’s car has beencompletely serviced, what is the probability that B’s car is ready before 2? Detailed explanation and calculation would be much appreciated.

Here is one way to think about a mixed random variable. Suppose that we have a discrete random variable Xa with (generalized) PDF and CDF fa(r) and Fa(x), and a continuous random variable X. with PDF and CDF f.(r) and F.(x). Now we create a new random variable X in the following way. We have a coin with P(H) = p. We toss the coin once. If it lands heads, then the value of X is determined according to the probability distribution of X4. If the coin lands tails, the value of X is determined according to the probability distribution of Xe. a. Find the CDF of X, Fx(x). b. Find the PDF of X, fx(x). c. Find EX.
