A large but sparsely populated county has two small hospitals, one at the south end of the county and one at the north end. The

south hospital emergency room has four beds, whereas the north hospital emergency room has only 3 beds. Let X denote the number of south beds occupied at a particular time on a given day. Let Y denote the number of North beds occupied at the same time on the same day. Suppose that these two random variables are independent; that the pmf of X puts probability masses .1, .2, .3, .2 and .2 on x values of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively; and that the pmf of Y distributes probabilities .1, .3, .4 and .2 on the y values 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
(a) Display the joint pmf of X and Y in a joint probability table.
(b) Compute P(X ≤ 1 and Y ≤ 1) by adding probabilities from the joint pmf, and verify that this equals the product of P(X ≤ 1) and P(Y ≤ 1).
(c) Express the event that the total number of beds occupied at the two hospitals combined is at most 1 in terms of X and Y, and then calculate this probability.
(d) What is the probability that at least one of the two hospitals has no beds occupied?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability distribution of this type is a vicariate distribution because it specifies two random variable X and Y. We represent the probability X takes x and Y takes y by

f(x,y) = P((X=x,Y=y) ,

and given that the random variables are independent the joint pmf isbgiven by:

f(x,y) = fX(x) .fY(y) and this gives the table (see attachment)

(b) the required probability is given by considering X=0,1 and Y =0,1

f(x,y) = sum{(P(X ≤ 1, Y ≤ 1) }

= [0.1 +0.2 ] × [0.1 + 0.3]

= 0.3 × 0.4

= 0.12

Now we find

fX(x) = sum{[f(x.y)]} for y =0, 1 and similarly for fY(y)= sum{[f(x,y)]} for x=0, 1

fX(x) = sum{[f(x,y)]}= 0.1+0.3

= 0.4

fY(y) = sum{[f(x.y)]} = 0.1 + 0.2

= 0.3

Since fY(y) × fX(x) = 0.4 × 0.3

= 0.12

Hence f(x,y) = fX(x) .fY(y), the events are independent

(c) the required event is give by: [P(X<=1, PY<=1)]

= P(X<=1) . P(Y<=1)

= [sum{[f(x.y]} over Y=0,1] × [sum{[f(x.y)]}, over X= 0, 1

= 0.4 × 0.3

= 0.12

(d) the required event is given by the idea that: either The South has no bed and the North has or the the North has no bed and the South has. Let this event be A

A =sum[(P(X = 1<= x<= 4, Y =0)] + sum[P(X =0 Y= 1 <= x <= 3)]

A = [0.02 + 0.03 + 0.02 + 0.02] + [0.03 + 0.04 + 0.02]

A = [0.09] + [ 0.09]

A = 0.18

Pls note the sum of the vertical column X=2 is 0.3

How do you find b from 24-10b=9
saul85 [17]
Well b is equal 1.5 because you need to subtract 24 from 9 and that equal 15. So now you need to divide the 15 from 10 so you get 1.5. Then 10 × 1.5 = 15 so 24 - 15 = 9

What two formulas are necessary to find the area of a segment of a circle? i will name brainliest!!!!!!!
NeTakaya
The necessary formulas to get the area of a circle’s segment are the area of the circle’s sector and the triangle it is bounded by. 

Hence the formula for the segment’s area is:Area of Segment = Area of sector – area of the triangle.

The formula of the area of a circle’s sector is:Area of Sector = \frac{central-angle}{2} x (radius of circle)²

While the formula for the area of a triangle is:Area of Triangle = \frac{1}{2} x base of triangle x height of triangle

Sheree’s brother gave samuel his collection of stamps when she left for college. at that time, the value of the collection was $
AlekseyPX

The rate of change of stamp collection was $57.5 per year.

Rate is comparison of two related quantities.

Often the second quantity is time (per second, per hour, etc) but it can be anything.

Can be in the style "this per that" or as a single number calculated using division.

Example: Sam makes 3 pancakes every 6 minutes, that is a rate of:

• 3 pancakes per 6 minutes

• 0.5 pancakes per minute

• 30 pancakes per hour

• an hourly rate of 30

By formula the rate of change = Change in cost/ Time taken

=( $980 - $420)/ 8years

= $460/ 8 years

= $57.5 per year

Thus the rate of change of stamp collection was $57.5 per year.
