Two ballpoint pens are selected at random from a box that contains 3 blue pens, 2 red pens, and 3 green pens. If X is the number

of blue pens selected and Y is the number of red pens selected, find (a) the joint probability mass function, (b) P [(X, Y ) ∈ A], where A is the region {(x, y)|x + y ≤ 1}.

Answer:

a) f(x,y) =\frac{\binom{3}{x}\binom{2}{y}\binom{3}{2-x-y}}{\binom{8}{2}} ;   x = 0, 1 , 2;  y = 0, 1 , 2; 0 ≤ x+y ≥ 2

b) = \frac{9}{14}

Step-by-step explanation:

joint probability is a function that characterizes the distribution of a random variable. If X and Y be two random variables then the joint probability will be P(X = x, Y=y)

Given Data,

X = The number of blue Pens

Y = The number of red Pens

a)

possible outcomes(X, Y) are (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 2), (2,0)

Please refer fig. also

total number ways of selecting any 2 pens = \binom{8}{2}= \frac{8!}{2! 6!} =28

f(x,y) = \frac{\binom{3}{x}\binom{2}{y}\binom{3}{2-x-y}}{\binom{8}{2}} ;   x = 0, 1 , 2;  y = 0, 1 , 2; 0 ≤ x+y ≥ 2

b)

P(X,Y)∈A = P(X + Y ≤ 1)

= P(0,0) + P(1,0) + P(0,1)

= \frac{3}{28} + \frac{3}{14} + \frac{9}{28}

= \frac{9}{14}

Hot dogs and hot dog buns are complements. if the price of a hot dog falls, then
love history [14]
Then the price of hot dog buns would go up, I assume.
If you were the owner of the leading hot dog bun company, and hot dog prices went down, then more people would need to buy hot dog buns. So if you wanted to profit from that you'd raise your prices a little bit to make more money.

Solve the problem as directed. If x and y vary directly, and x = 10 when y = 3, what will be the value of x when y = 9?
Vladimir [108]
X will equal 30. If y equals 9, then that means it was multiplied 3 times, so you do the same with x. 10*3=30.
