Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
You can do this two different ways. Both include picking two points where the line crosses a corner. I'm using (0,-1) and (4,2). Now here you can either use
Slope=
or
If you use the first one start at point (0,-1) and go to point (4,2) and count how many it goes up (rise) and then put that over how many it goes to the right (run).
If you use the second one then plug in the numbers.
y2=second y point
y1=first y point
x2=second x point
x1=first x point
Now just solve.
Answer:
y 0 1 2 3
P(Y=y) 0.0676 0.3549 0.3875 0.19
Step-by-step explanation:
P(Wed) = 0.26
P(Thurs) = 0.39
P(Fri) = 0.25
P(Sat) = 0.10
Y = No. of days beyond Wednesday it takes for both magazines to arrive i.e. 0,1,2,3
Y=0 means the magazines will arrive on Wednesday
Y=1 means the magazines will arrive till Thursday
Y=2 means the magazines will arrive till Friday
Y=3 means the magazines will arrive till Saturday
The possible combinations for Y are
Y(W,W) Y(W,T) Y(W,F) Y(W,S)
Y(T,W) Y(T,T) Y(T,F) Y(T,S)
Y(F,W) Y(F,T) Y(F,F) Y(F,S)
Y(S,W) Y(S,T) Y(S,F) Y(S,S)
So, we can classify these possible outcomes as Y=0,1,2,3.
Y(0) = Y(W,W) (both magazines take 0 days to arrive beyond Wednesday)
Y(1) = Y(W,T), Y(T,T), Y(T,W) (both magazines take 1 day to arrive beyond Wednesday)
Y(2) = Y(W,F), Y(T,F), Y(F,F) Y(F,W) Y(F,T) (both magazines arrive till Friday)
Y(3) = Y(W,S), Y(T,S), Y(F,S), Y(S,W), Y(S,T), Y(S,F), Y(S,S) (both magazines arrive till Saturday)
To calculate the PMF, we need to calculate the probability for each of the points in Y(0,1,2,3).
Y(0) = Y(W,W)
= 0.26 x 0.26
Y(0) = 0.0676
Y(1) = Y(W,T) + Y(T,T) + Y(T,W)
= (0.26 x 0.39) + (0.39 x 0.39) + (0.39 x 0.26)
= 0.1014 + 0.1521 + 0.1014
Y(1) = 0.3549
Y(2) = Y(W,F) + Y(T,F) + Y(F,F) + Y(F,W) + Y(F,T)
=(0.26 x 0.25) + (0.39 x 0.25) + (0.25 x 0.25) + (0.25 x 0.26) + (0.25 x 0.39)
= 0.065 + 0.0975 + 0.0625 + 0.065 + 0.0975
Y(2) = 0.3875
Y(3) = Y(W,S) + Y(T,S) + Y(F,S) + Y(S,W) + Y(S,T) + Y(S,F) + Y(S,S)
= (0.26 x 0.10) + (0.39 x 0.10) + (0.25 x 0.10) + (0.10 x 0.26) + (0.10 x 0.39) + (0.10 x 0.25) + (0.10 x 0.10)
= 0.026 + 0.039 + 0.025 + 0.026 + 0.039 + 0.025 + 0.010
Y(3) = 0.19
y 0 1 2 3
P(Y=y) 0.0676 0.3549 0.3875 0.19
