Let X and Y be discrete random variables. Let E[X] and var[X] be the expected value and variance, respectively, of a random vari
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

(a)E[X+Y]=E[X]+E[Y]

(b)Var(X+Y)=Var(X)+Var(Y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X and Y be discrete random variables and E(X) and Var(X) are the Expected Values and Variance of X respectively.

(a)We want to show that E[X + Y ] = E[X] + E[Y ].

When we have two random variables instead of one, we consider their joint distribution function.

For a function f(X,Y) of discrete variables X and Y, we can define

E[f(X,Y)]=\sum_{x,y}f(x,y)\cdot P(X=x, Y=y).

Since f(X,Y)=X+Y

E[X+Y]=\sum_{x,y}(x+y)P(X=x,Y=y)\\=\sum_{x,y}xP(X=x,Y=y)+\sum_{x,y}yP(X=x,Y=y).

Let us look at the first of these sums.

\sum_{x,y}xP(X=x,Y=y)\\=\sum_{x}x\sum_{y}P(X=x,Y=y)\\\text{Taking Marginal distribution of x}\\=\sum_{x}xP(X=x)=E[X].

Similarly,

\sum_{x,y}yP(X=x,Y=y)\\=\sum_{y}y\sum_{x}P(X=x,Y=y)\\\text{Taking Marginal distribution of y}\\=\sum_{y}yP(Y=y)=E[Y].

Combining these two gives the formula:

\sum_{x,y}xP(X=x,Y=y)+\sum_{x,y}yP(X=x,Y=y) =E(X)+E(Y)

Therefore:

E[X+Y]=E[X]+E[Y] \text{  as required.}

(b)We  want to show that if X and Y are independent random variables, then:

Var(X+Y)=Var(X)+Var(Y)

By definition of Variance, we have that:

Var(X+Y)=E(X+Y-E[X+Y]^2)

=E[(X-\mu_X  +Y- \mu_Y)^2]\\=E[(X-\mu_X)^2  +(Y- \mu_Y)^2+2(X-\mu_X)(Y- \mu_Y)]\\$Since we have shown that expectation is linear$\\=E(X-\mu_X)^2  +E(Y- \mu_Y)^2+2E(X-\mu_X)(Y- \mu_Y)]\\=E[(X-E(X)]^2  +E[Y- E(Y)]^2+2Cov (X,Y)

Since X and Y are independent, Cov(X,Y)=0

=Var(X)+Var(Y)

Therefore as required:

Var(X+Y)=Var(X)+Var(Y)

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

  5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that y represents production capacity, rather than <em>increase</em> in production capacity. Then we want to solve the 6th-degree equation ...

  x^6 -25x^4 +199x^2 -4975 = 0

This can be factored in groups as ...

  x^4(x^2 -25) + 199(x^2 -25) = 0

  (x^4 +199)(x^2 -25) = 0

This has 4 complex solutions and 2 real solutions.

  x^2 = 25

  x = ±5

The duration required for capacity to reach 4975 units is 5 months.
