A manuscript is sent to a typing firm consisting of typists A, B and C. If it is typed by A, then the number of errors made is a

Poisson random variable with mean 2.6; if typed by B then the number of errors made is a Poisson random variable with mean 3; and if typed by C then it is a Poisson random variable with mean 3.4. Let X denote the number of errors in the manuscript. Assume that each typist is equally likely to do the work. (a) Find E(X) (b) Find Var(X)

Answer:

(a) E(X) = 3

(b) Var(X) = 12.1067

Explanation:

(a) E[X]

E[X]T = E[X]T=A + E[X]T=B + E[X]T=C

         = (2.6 + 3 + 3.4)/3

         = 2.6 (1/3) + 3(1/3) + 3.4(1/3)

         = 2.6/3 + 1 + 3.4/3

         = 3

(b) Var (X) = E[X²]−(E[X])²

Recall that if Y ∼ Pois(λ), then E[Y 2] = λ+λ2. This implies that

E[X²] = [(2.6 + 2.6²) + (3 + 3²) + (3.4 + 3.4²)]/3

         = (9.36 + 12 + 14.96)/3

         = 36.32/3

         = 12.1067

Var(X) = E[X²]−(E[X])²

          = 12 - 3²

          = 12.1067 - 9

          = 3.1067

Anestetic [448]
Dr. Regan was hired to help retain employees by the Siri corporation without losing money and expectations. He was the one who suggested that employees could decorate their work spaces and this would help employees feel more comfortable where they have to work 8 or more hours per day. This then helped the company by people not calling in and less people quit their jobs. Dr. Regan was most likely an industrial and organizational psychologist.

What is your ownership in a stock represented by
vitfil [10]

Answer:

A stock (also known as equity) is a security that represents the ownership of a fraction of a corporation. This entitles the owner of the stock to a proportion of the corporation's assets and profits equal to how much stock they own. Units of stock are called "shares."

Stocks are bought and sold predominantly on stock exchanges (though there can be private sales as well) and are the foundation of many individual investors' portfolios. These transactions have to conform to government regulations that are meant to protect investors from fraudulent practices. Historically, they have outperformed most other investments over the long run. These investments can be purchased from most online stockbrokers
