Question

Let X and Y be independent Bernoulli random variables with parameters 0.2 and 0.3, respectively. Find the distribution of X Y. List all possible values that X Y can take. Write your answer as a comma-separated list ordered from smallest to largest value. possible values: List the probabilities that X Y takes each of the values. Write your answer as a comma-separated list giving the probabilities in the same order as in (a)

Answer 1

Answer:

a)  0 , 1

b) 0.56 , 0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

X = 0.2

Y = 0.3

Find the distribution of X + Y

a) All the possible values of  X + Y

The possible values of X + Y  are ; 0,1

b) The probabilities that X + Y takes each of the values

P(X+Y=0 ) = ( 1-0.2 )*(1-0.3) = 0.56

P( X +Y = 1) = 0.2*0.3 = 0.06
