The opponents of soccer team A are of two types: either they are a class 1 or a class 2 team. The number of goals team A scores

against a class i opponent is a Poisson random variable with mean λ , where λ = 2, λ = 3. This weekend the team has two games against teams they are not very familiar with. Assuming that the first team they play is a class 1 team with probability 0.6 and the second is, independently of the class of the first team, a class 1 team with probability 0.3, determine
(a) the expected number of goals team A will score this weekend.
(b) the probability that team A will score a total of five goals.

I need help with part b of this question. I have part a covered. Please explain in detail on how to obtain the answer for part b.

Answer:

a) The expected number of goals team A will score is 5.1

b) The probability that team A will score a total of 5 goals is 0.1147

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the amount of goals scored by team A in both matches. Let X1 and X2 be the total amount of goals team A scores in match 1 and 2 respectively, then X = X1+X2, and also

a)

E(X) = E(X1+X2) = E(X1)+E(X2) = 0.6*2+0.4*3 + 0.3*2+0.7*3 = 5.1

b) In order for X to be equal to 5 we have 5 possibilities

- X1 is 0 and X2 is 5

- X1 is 1 and X2 is 4

- X1 is 2 and X2 is 3

- X1 is 3 and X2 is 2

- X1 is 4 and X2 is 1

- X1 is 5 and X2 is 0

Let T1 be a poisson distribution with mean λ = 2, then

P(T1=0) = e^{-2}

P(T1=1) = 2 * e^{-2}

P(T1=2) = 2 * e^{-2}

P(T1=3) = \frac{4}{3} \, e^{-2}

P(T1=4) = \frac{2}{3}\, e^{-2}

P(T1=5) = \frac{4}{15}\,e^{-2}

Lets do the same with a Poisson distribution T2 with mean λ = 3

P(T2=0) = e^{-3}

P(T2=1) = 3 \, e^{-3}\\P(T2=2) = \frac{9}{2} \, e^{-3}\\P(T2=3) = \frac{9}{2} \, e^{-3}\\P(T2=4) = \frac{27}{8} \, e^{-3}\\P(T2=5) = \frac{81}{40} \, e^{-3}

Now, we are ready to compute the probability that X is equal to 5.

P(X1 = 0, X2 = 5) = (0.6* e^{-2} + 0.4*e^{-3}) * (0.3*\frac{4}{15}e^{-2}  + 0.7*\frac{81}{40} e^{-3}) = 0.00823\\P(X1 = 1, X2 = 4) = (0.6* 2e^{-2} + 0.4*3 e^{-3}) * (0.3*\frac{2}{3}e^{-2}  + 0.7*\frac{27}{8} e^{-3}) = 0.03214\\P(X1 = 2, X2 = 3) = (0.6* 2e^{-2} + 0.4*\frac{9}{2}e^{-3}) * (0.3*\frac{4}{3}e^{-2}  + 0.7*\frac{9}{2} e^{-3}) = 0.05317\\P(X1 = 3, X2 = 2) = (0.6* \frac{4}{3}e^{-2} + 0.4*\frac{9}{2}*e^{-3}) * (0.3*2e^{-2}  + 0.7*\frac{9}{2} e^{-3}) = 0.0471

P(X1 = 4, X2 = 1) = (0.6* \frac{2}{3}e^{-2} + 0.4*\frac{27}{8}e^{-3}) * (0.3*2e^{-2}  + 0.7*3e^{-3}) = 0.0225\\P(X1 = 5, X2 = 0) = (0.6* \frac{4}{15}e^{-2} + 0.4*\frac{81}{40}e^{-3}) * (0.3*e^{-2}  + 0.7*e^{-3}) = 0.0047

We can conclude that

P(X = 5) = 0.00823+0.03214+0.05317+0.0471+0.0225+0.0047 = 0.1147

The probability that team A will score a total of 5 goals is 0.1147

Solve the equation -4 + 4a = 12 for a.
WARRIOR [948]

Hello there! The answer to your question is a = 4.

To solve for a in the equation -4 + 4a = 12 you want to isolate, or separate, a from all of the equation's other values.

Our first step is to add 4 to both sides so the 4 cancels out on the left side.

-4+4 + 4a = 12+4

4a = 16

Next, we divide both sides by 4 to finish isolating a.

4/4a = 16/4

a = 4

Want to verify that this is correct? Place the value we found for a (4) into the equation in place of a and if it comes out as a true statement, the answer is correct.

-4 + 4(4) = 12

-4 + 16 = 12

12 = 12

Since 12 is in fact equal to 12, i can guarantee you that i have provided you with the correct answer. I hope this helps & have a great rest of your day! :)

A is additive equality, where -x and x adds to 0
b is distributive, where x(y+z)=xy+xz
c is multiplicative equality, where x*1=x
d is subtracting both sides by 3.
