Explanation Conditional discrete probability function: Consider that Y 1 and Y 2 are two discrete real valued random variables with joint probability mass function of p ( y 1 , y 2 ) . In addition, the marginal probability functions of Y 1 and Y 2 are p 1 ( y 1 ) and p 2 ( y 2 ) , respectively. Now, for any y 2 the conditional density of Y 1 given Y 2 = y 2 is given as, p ( y 1 | y 2 ) = P ( Y 1 = y 1 | Y 2 = y 2 ) = P ( Y 1 = y 1 , Y 2 = y 2 ) P ( Y 2 = y 2 ) = p ( y 1 , y 2 ) p 2 ( y 2 ) , where p 2 ( y 2 ) > 0 . Similarly, for any y 1 the conditional density of Y 2 given Y 1 = y 1 is given as, p ( y 2 | y 1 ) = p ( y 1 , y 2 ) p 1 ( y 1 ) , where p 1 ( y 1 ) > 0 . Binomial distribution: A random variable Y is said to follows binomial distribution if and only if the probability mass function is defined as, p ( y ) = ( n y ) p y ( 1 − p ) n − y , y = 0 , 1 , 2 , ... , n and 0 ≤ p ≤ 1 , where n is the total number of trials and p is the probability of success. Poisson distribution: A random variable Y is said to follow Poisson distribution if and only if the probability mass function of Y is defined as, p ( y ) = λ y y ! e − λ , y = 0 , 1 , 2 , ... and λ > 0 . Here, W is defined as W = Y 1 + Y 2 , where Y 1 and Y 2 are independent Poisson random variables

Suppose you are gambling on a roulette wheel. Each time the wheel is spun, the result is one of the outcomes 0, 1, and so on through 36. Of these outcomes, 18 are red, 18 are black, and 1 is green. On each spin you bet $5 that a red outcome will occur and $1 that the green outcome will occur. If red occurs, you win a net $4. (You win $10 from red and nothing from green.) If green occurs, you win a net $24. (You win $30 from green and nothing from red.) If black occurs, you lose everything you bet for a loss of $6. a. Use simulation to generate 1,000 plays from this strategy. Each play should indicate the net amount won or lost. Then, based on these outcomes, calculate a 95% confidence interval for the total net amount won or lost from 1,000 plays of the game. (Round your answers to two decimal places and if your answer is negative value, enter "minus" sign.) I worked out the Upper Limit, but I can't seem to arrive at the correct answer for the Lower Limit. What is the Lower Limit?…
