(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

Given: AD = BC and AD || BC
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

ABCD is a parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two parallel and equal pairs of opposite sides.    

From the given diagram,

Given: AD = BC and AD || BC, then:

i. AB = DC (both pairs of opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent)

ii. <ADC = < BCD and < DAB = < CBA

thus, AD || BC and AB || DC (both pairs of opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel)

iii. < BAC = < DCA (alternate angle property)

iv. Join BD, line AC  and BC are the diagonals of the quadrilateral which bisect each other. The two diagonals are at a right angle to each other.

v. <ADC + < BCD + < DAB + < CBA = 360^{0}  (sum of angles in a quadrilateral equals 4 right angles)

Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram.

Answer:

y = 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m (slope) = 3/1 or 3

b (y-intercept) = -5

y = 3x - 5
