Where does the z=2 come from? Just from X, and Y also being random variables?
We are studying a group of 60 people, where the numbers of smokers and non-smokers and those with and without lung cancer are shown in the following table: Non smoker Smokes Total No cancer 40 10 50 Yes cancer 7 3 10 Total 47 13 60 One person is randomly selected from the group. Let's study two random variables S and T, which S= 1, if the person smokes ------- 0, if the person does not smoke T= 1, if the person smokes ----- 0, if the person does not smoke Make a table of the joint and marginal distributions of S and T. (a) Investigate whether the random variables S and T are independent. (b) Compute Corr(S,T).

Prove that the variance of a beta-distributed random variable with parameters a and ß is αβ (a + B)² (a + B + 1)* =
The probability that data are entered incorrectly into a field in a database is 0.008. A data entry form has 24 fields, and errors occur independently for each field. The random variable X is the number of fields on the form with an error. Does X have a discrete uniform distribution? Why or why not?
List the values of the random variables defined in the following 4. The number of bounced checks (due to insufficient funds) that a bank receives in a day. 5. The number of Covid-19 patients that recovers from this sickness in a certain hospital per day.
Suppose that the genders of the three children of a certain family are soon to be revealed. Outcomes are thus triples of “girls” (g) and “boys” (b), which we write gbg, bbb, etc. For each outcome, let R be the random variable counting the number of girls in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is bbb, then R(bbb)=0. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of R as follows: X=R^2-2R-1. The values of X are given in the table below.

Let a be a random variable representing the percentage of protein content for early bloom alfalfa hay. The average percentage protein content of such early bloom alfalfa should be u = 17.2%. A farmer's co-op is thinking of buying a large amount of baled hay but suspects that the hay is from a later summer cutting with lower protein content. A small amount of hay was removed from each bale of a random sample of 50 bales. The average protein content from the samples was determined by a local agricultural college to be -15.8% with a sample standard deviation of S = 5.3%- At a = .05, does this hay have lower average protein content than the early bloom alfalfa?
3. Let X be the random variable that takes on the integers {0, 1, 2, ..., 15} with equal probabilities. Define a new random variable Y = X + A, where A is a random variable that takes on the values {-1, 0, 1} with equal probabilities. If the RVs X and A are independent, find the mutual information between X and Y.
If the discrete random variable X takes on the values 1 , 2 , 3 and if P ( X = 1 ) = P ( X = 3 ) = 0.2 then the mean of x =
In the airline business, "on-time" flight arrival is important for connecting flights and general customer satisfaction. Is there a difference between summer and winter average on-time flight arrivals? Let x1 be a random variable that represents percentage of on-time arrivals at major airports in the summer. Let x2 be a random variable that represents percentage of on-time arrivals at major airports in the winter. A random sample of n1 = 16 major airports showed that x1 = 74.9%, with s1 = 5.3%. A random sample of n2 = 18 major airports showed that x2 = 70.2%, with s2 = 8.6%. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value a small amount and thereby produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. (a) Does this information indicate a difference (either way) in the population mean percentage of on-time arrivals for summer compared to winter? Use α = 0.05. (i) What is the…
