Let X1 and X2 be two random variables following Binomial distribution Bin(n1,p) and Bin(n2,p), respectively. Assume that X1 and

X2 are independent.
(a) The mgf of binomial distribution Bin(n, p) is (1 − p + pet)n. Use this fact to obtain the distribution of X1 + X2.

(b) Find the probability P(X1 + X2 = 1|X2 = k) for k = 0 and 1. Then use the law of total probability to find P (X1 + X2 = 1)

Answer:

a) X1+X2 have distribution Bi(n1+n2, p)

b)

P(X1+X2 = 1 | X2 = 0) =  np(1-p)ⁿ¹⁻¹

P(X1+X2 = 1| X2 = 1) = (1-p)ⁿ¹

P(X1 + X2 = 1) = (1-p)ⁿ¹ * np(1-p)ⁿ²⁻¹+ (1-p)ⁿ²*np(1-p)ⁿ¹-¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both variables are independent but they have the same probability parameter, you can interpret that like if the experiment that models each try in both variables is the same. When you sum both random variables toguether, what you obtain as a result is the total amount of success in n1+n2 tries of the same experiment, thus X1+X2 have distribution Bi(n1+n2, p).

b)

Note that, if X2 = k, then X1+X2 = 1 is equivalent to X1 = 1-k. Since X1 and X2 are independent, then P(X1+X2 = 1| X2 = K) = P(X1=1-k|X2=k) = P(X1 = 1-k).

If k = 0, then this probability is equal to P(X1 = 1) = np(1-p)ⁿ¹⁻¹

If k = 1, then it is equal to P(X1 = 0) = (1-p)ⁿ¹

Thus,

P(X1+X2 = 1) = P(X1+X2 = 1| X2 = 1) * P(X2=1) + P(X1+X2 = 1| X2 = 0) * P(X2 = 0) = (1-p)ⁿ¹ * np(1-p)ⁿ²⁻¹+ (1-p)ⁿ²*np(1-p)ⁿ¹-¹

katovenus [111]

b = 0

To solve make b the subject so:

4b + 6 = 2 - b + 4

5b + 6 = 6

5b = 0

5 = 0/5

= 0
