Two independent random variables X1 and X2 follow Negative Binomial
distributions with parameters (p, k₁) and (p, k2) respectively. Show, using the
mgf given in part (b), that the sum X₁+X2 follows a Negative Binomial
distribution with parameters p and (k₁+k2). Show your steps clearly giving
reasons.
The number of claims for a portfolio for a one week period has a Negative
Binomial distribution with p=0.4 and k=6. Assuming claim numbers are
independent from one week to another, calculate the probability of 9 claims in
three weeks. Work out the expected number of claims in a five week period for
this portfolio. Given that there were 45 claims in the first five weeks, calculate
the probability that 20 of them were made in the first two weeks.
