STAT 2102 Assignment 5

Due Date: 3 April, 2025

4.1-8. In a smoking survey among boys between the ages of 12 and 17, 78% prefer to
date nonsmokers, 1% prefer to date smokers, and 21% don’t care. Suppose three such
boys are selected randomly. Let X equal the number who prefer to date nonsmokers and
Y equal the number who prefer to date smokers.
(a) Determine the joint pmf of X and Y . Be sure to include the support of the pmf.
(b) Find the marginal pmf of X. Again include the support.
(c) Are X and Y independent or dependent? Why or why not?

4.2-6. The joint pmf of X and Y is f (x, y) = 1/6, 0 6 x + y 6 2, where x and y are
nonnegative integers.
(a) Sketch the support of X and Y .
(b) Record the marginal pmfs fX (x) and fY (y) in the ”margins.”
(c) Compute Cov(X, Y ).
(d) Determine ⇢, the correlation coefficient.

5.3- 12. Let X1 , X2 , X3 be a random sample of size n = 3 from the exponential

distribution with pdf f (x) = e x , 0 < x < 1. Find

P (1 < min Xi ) = P (1 < X1 , 1 < X2 , 1 < X3 ) .

5.6-8. Let X equal the weight in grams of a miniature candy bar. Assume that
µ = E(X) = 24.43 and 2 = Var(X) = 2.20. Let X̄ be the sample mean of a random
sample of n = 30 candy bars. Find
(a) E(X̄). (b) Var(X̄). (c) P (24.17 6 X̄ 6 24.82), approximately.
