Explanation of Solution

The probability distribution of random variable X is shown below:

Table 1

X-2578
P(X)0.590.150.250.01

The mean value of the probability distribution of X is calculated as follows:

μ=E(X)=xP(x)=(2(0.59) + 5(0.15) + 7(0.25) + 8(0.01))=1.40

The mean value is 1.40.

The variance of the probability distribution of X is calculated as follows:

σ2=V(X)=(x-μ)2P(x)={(21.4)2(0.59)+(51.4)2(0.15)+(71.4)2(0.25)+(81.4)2(0.1)}=17.04

The variance is 17.04.

Economics Concept Introduction

Probability distribution: The probability distribution shows the probabilities of incidence of different likely outcomes in a test.

Explanation of Solution

The probability distribution of Y where Y is equal to 5X is shown in the below table:

X-2578
Y-10253540
P(Y)0.590.150.250.01

(c)

To determine

The mean and variance of Y.

Explanation of Solution

The mean value of the probability distribution of Y is calculated as follows:

μ=E(Y)=yP(y)=(10(0.59) + 25(0.15) + 35(0.25) + 40(0.01))=7

The mean value is 7.

The variance of the probability distribution of Y is calculated as follows:

σ2=V(Y)=(y-μ)2P(y)={(107)2(0.59)+(257)2(0.15)+(357)2(0.25)+(407)2(0.1)}=426

The variance is 426.

(d)

To determine

The expected value and variance of Y.

(d)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The expected value of Y from Parameter X is calculated as follows:

E(Y)=E(5X)=5E(X) =5(1.4)=7

The expected value is 7.

The variance of Y from Parameter X is calculated as follows:

V(Y)=V(5X)=5V(X) =25(17.04) =426

The variance is 426.
