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

What percent is equivalent to the fraction and decimal below? Enter your
adoni [48]

Answer:

Percent = 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a decimal form of 2/10, we can turn it into percentage by multiplying 0.20 by 100.

=> 0.20 by 100

=> 20%

Therefore, 20% is our answer.

Hoped this helped.

In two or more complete sentences, explain what additional information is needed to prove triangle CES congruent to triangle RST
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
<span>We already know that angles ECS and TRS are congruent, because they are both right angles (given). We also know that angles CSE and RST are congruent because they are vertical angles and vertical angles are always congruent. That gives us two sets of congruent angles. We just need to know something about one pair of sides to prove the two triangles congruent to each other. I do question the order of the letters in the names of the triangles--if that's really the order the letters are written in the problem, then we would need to know that ES is congruent to RT or that CS is congruent to ST. If the order of the letters of the names of the triangles is a little different we would need to know that CS is congruent to RS or that any of the other sides that appear to match are actually congruent. </span>
