Second part A and B only.

1. (Sec. 5.2) An instructor gives a short quiz consisting of two parts. For a randomly selected student, let
X =the number of points earned on the first part and Y =the number of points earned on the second
part. Suppose that the joint pmf of X and Y is given in the table below.
p(x.,y) | y=0| y=5 | y=10 | y=15
.02

x=5
.04

.10
X=10

(a) If the score recorded in the gradebook is the total number of points earned on the two parts, what
is the expected value of the recorded score E(X +Y)?
(b) If the instructor records the difference in scores between the second and first part, what is the
expected difference?
(c) If the minimum of the two scores is recorded, what is the expected value of the recorded score?
