(4.1.4) Let X and Y be Bernoulli random variables. Let Z = X + Y. a. Show that if X and Y cannot both be equal to 1, then Z is a

Bernoulli random variable. b. Show that if X and Y cannot both be equal to 1, then pZ = pX + pY. c. Show that if X and Y can both be equal to 1, then Z is not a Bernoulli random variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

a)

X ~ Bernoulli (p_x) and Y ~ Bernoulli (y_x)

X + Y = Z

The possible value for Z are Z = 0 when X = 0 and Y = 0

and Z = 1 when X = 0 and Y = 1 or when X = 1 and Y = 0

If X and Y can not be both equal to 1 , then the probability mass function of the random variable Z takes on the value of 0 for any value of Z other than 0 and 1,

Therefore Z is a Bernoulli random variable

b)

If X and Y can not be both equal to  1

then,

p_z = P(X=1 or Y=1)\\

p_z = P(X=1)+P(Y=1)-P(=1 and Y =1)

p_z = P(x=1)+P(Y=1)\\\\p_z=p_x+p_y

c)

If both X = 1 and Y = 1 then Z = 2

The possible values of the random variable Z are 0, 1 and 2.

since a  Bernoulli variable should be take on only values 0 and 1 the random variable Z does not have Bernoulli distribution

How to evaluate the expression
noname [10]
[(-72) \div (-2)]^3 - (-7) \times (-10)

= [36]^3 - (-7) \times (-10)

=46656 - (-7) \times (-10)

=46656 - (70)

=46586

-------------------------------------


2^3 - 9 \times (2 - 4)

= 8 - 9 \times (-2)

= 8 - (-18)

= 8 + 18

= 26

Which is smaller,two-thirds of 27 or two-fifths of 20?
shtirl [24]
" of " means multiply

2/3(27) = 54/3 = 18
2/5(20) = 40/5 = 8

so 2/5 of 20 is smaller
