Answer:
a) Joint ptobability distribution
b) P(X<= 1 and Y <= 1) = P(X<= 1) * P(Y<=1) = 0.56
c) P(X + Y = 0)=0.3
d) P(X + Y <= 1)=0.53
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to construct the joint probability table with the marginal probabilities of X and Y.
X can take values from 0 to 2, and Y can take values from 0 to 4.
We can calculate each point of the joint probability as:
Then, the joint probabilities are:
X=0 Y=0 Px=0.5 Px=0.6 P(0,0)=0.3
X=0 Y=1 Px=0.5 Px=0.1 P(0,1)=0.05
X=0 Y=2 Px=0.5 Px=0.05 P(0,2)=0.025
X=0 Y=3 Px=0.5 Px=0.05 P(0,3)=0.025
X=0 Y=4 Px=0.5 Px=0.2 P(0,4)=0.1
X=1 Y=0 Px=0.3 Px=0.6 P(1,0)=0.18
X=1 Y=1 Px=0.3 Px=0.1 P(1,1)=0.03
X=1 Y=2 Px=0.3 Px=0.05 P(1,2)=0.015
X=1 Y=3 Px=0.3 Px=0.05 P(1,3)=0.015
X=1 Y=4 Px=0.3 Px=0.2 P(1,4)=0.06
X=2 Y=0 Px=0.2 Px=0.6 P(2,0)=0.12
X=2 Y=1 Px=0.2 Px=0.1 P(2,1)=0.02
X=2 Y=2 Px=0.2 Px=0.05 P(2,2)=0.01
X=2 Y=3 Px=0.2 Px=0.05 P(2,3)=0.01
X=2 Y=4 Px=0.2 Px=0.2 P(2,4)=0.04
We can write it in the form of a matrix:
b) From the joint probability P(X<= 1 and Y <= 1) is equal to
We can calculate P(X<= 1) * P(Y<=1)
Both calculations give the same result.
c) Probability of no violations
d) P(X + Y <= 1)
Answer:
3 metres
Step-by-step explanation:
If we draw this out, we'll see that there are actually two similar right triangles (see attachment), which means that we can set up a proportion.
The height of the lookout tower corresponds to the height of the wooden column, while the shadow of the lookout tower corresponds to the shadow of the wooden column. We can then write:
(height of lookout tower) / (shadow of tower) = (height of column) / (shadow of column)
16 / 12 = 4 / x , where x is the shadow / unknown we want to find
Cross-multiply:
16x = 48
x = 3
The answer is thus 3 metres.
