Q 4.4. An individual picked at random from a population has a propensity to have accidentsthat is modelled by a random variable Y having the gamma distribution with shape parameter aand rate parameter ß. Given Y = y, the number of accidents that the individual suffers in years1, 2, ..., n are independent random variables X₁, X2,... Xn each having the Poisson distributionwith parameter y.(a) Write down a function f so that the joint distribution of Y, X₁, Xn can be describedviaP(a ≤ Y ≤ b, X₁ = k1, X₂ = k2 … . . Xn = kn) = [° ƒ (y, k1, k2, ... kn)dyand derive from this expression that, for your choice of f, Y has the Gamma distribution,and that conditionally on Y = y, X₁, X2,... Xn are independent, each having the Poissondistribution with parameter y. (b) Find the conditional distribution of Y given that X₁ = k₁, X2 = k2, ..., kn.(c) An insurance company has observed the number of accidents that an individual has sufferedon each of n years and wishes to predict the number of accidents that individual willexperience in the next year. To this end let Xn+1 be a further random variable so that,conditionally on Y y, X1, X2,... Xn, Xn+1 are independent, each having the Poissondistribution with parameter y. Write down the value of the conditional expectationE[Xn+1 X1, X2, ... Xn, Y],-and hence determineE[Xn+1|X1, X2, ... Xn].

A certain mutual fund invests in both U.S. and foreign markets. Let x a random variable that represents the monthly percentage return for the fund. Assume x has mean u = 1.9% and standard deviation o = 0.3%. (a) The fund has over 175 stocks that combine together to give the overall monthly percentage return x. We can consider the monthly return of the stocks in the fund to be a sample from the population of monthly returns of all world stocks. Then we see that the overall monthly return x for the fund is itself an average return computed using all 175 stocks in the fund. Why would this indicate that x has an approximately normal distribution? Explain. Hint: See the discussion after Theorem 6.2. The random variable -Select-v is a mean of a sample size n = 175. By the -Select- v, the -Select- distribution is approximately normal. (b) After 6 months, what is the probability that thẹ average monthly percentage return x will be between 1% and 2%? Hint: See Theorem 6.1, and assume that x has…

6. In a location two random samples were taken concerning the rate of hay fever per 1000 population. Sample 1 (n1 = 16) contained people under 25, sample 2 (n2 = 14) contained people over 50. %3D X1 = 109.5 S1 = 15.41 X2 = 99.36 s2 = 11.57 %3D Assume that the hay fever rate in each group has an approximately normal distribution. Do the data indicate that the over 50 group has a significantly lower hay fever rate? (Use a = 5%)

Previously, De Anza's statistics students estimated that the amount of change daytime statistics students carry is exponentially distributed with a mean of $0.88. Suppose that we randomly pick 25 daytime statistics students. Find the probability that an individual had between $0.80 and $1.00. Graph the situation, and shade in the area to be determined.
