Canadians who visit the United States often buy liquor and cigarettes, which are much cheaper in the United States. However, the

re are limitations. Canadians visiting in the United States for more than 2 days are allowed to bring into Canada one bottle of liquor and one carton of cigarettes. A Canada Customs agent has produced the following joint probability distribution of the number of bottles of liquor and the number of cartons of cigarettes imported by Canadians who have visited the United States for 2 or more days.
a. Find the marginal probability distribution of the number of bottles imported.

P(0 Bottles) =
P(1 Bottle) =

b. Find the marginal probability distribution of the number of cigarette cartons imported.

P(0 Cartons) =
P(1 Carton) =

Answer:

(a): Marginal pmf of x

P(0) = 0.72

P(1) = 0.28

(b): Marginal pmf of y

P(0) = 0.81

P(1) = 0.19

(c): Mean and Variance of x

E(x) = 0.28

Var(x) = 0.2016

(d): Mean and Variance of y

E(y) = 0.19

Var(y) = 0.1539

(e): The covariance and the coefficient of correlation

Cov(x,y) = 0.0468

r \approx 0.2657

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<em>x = bottles</em>

<em>y = carton</em>

<em>See attachment for complete question</em>

<em />

Solving (a): Marginal pmf of x

This is calculated as:

P(x) = \sum\limits^{}_y\ P(x,y)

So:

P(0) = P(0,0) + P(0,1)

P(0) = 0.63 + 0.09

P(0) = 0.72

P(1) = P(1,0) + P(1,1)

P(1) = 0.18 + 0.10

P(1) = 0.28

Solving (b): Marginal pmf of y

This is calculated as:

P(y) = \sum\limits^{}_x\ P(x,y)

So:

P(0) = P(0,0) + P(1,0)

P(0) = 0.63 + 0.18

P(0) = 0.81

P(1) = P(0,1) + P(1,1)

P(1) = 0.09 + 0.10

P(1) = 0.19

Solving (c): Mean and Variance of x

Mean is calculated as:

E(x) = \sum( x * P(x))

So, we have:

E(x) = 0 * P(0)  + 1 * P(1)

E(x) = 0 * 0.72  + 1 * 0.28

E(x) = 0   + 0.28

E(x) = 0.28

Variance is calculated as:

Var(x) = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2

Calculate E(x^2)

E(x^2) = \sum( x^2 * P(x))

E(x^2) = 0^2 * 0.72 + 1^2 * 0.28

E(x^2) = 0 + 0.28

E(x^2) = 0.28

So:

Var(x) = E(x^2) - (E(x))^2

Var(x) = 0.28 - 0.28^2

Var(x) = 0.28 - 0.0784

Var(x) = 0.2016

Solving (d): Mean and Variance of y

Mean is calculated as:

E(y) = \sum(y * P(y))

So, we have:

E(y) = 0 * P(0)  + 1 * P(1)

E(y) = 0 * 0.81  + 1 * 0.19

E(y) = 0+0.19

E(y) = 0.19

Variance is calculated as:

Var(y) = E(y^2) - (E(y))^2

Calculate E(y^2)

E(y^2) = \sum(y^2 * P(y))

E(y^2) = 0^2 * 0.81 + 1^2 * 0.19

E(y^2) = 0 + 0.19

E(y^2) = 0.19

So:

Var(y) = E(y^2) - (E(y))^2

Var(y) = 0.19 - 0.19^2

Var(y) = 0.19 - 0.0361

Var(y) = 0.1539

Solving (e): The covariance and the coefficient of correlation

Covariance is calculated as:

COV(x,y) = E(xy) - E(x) * E(y)

Calculate E(xy)

E(xy) = \sum (xy * P(xy))

This gives:

E(xy) = x_0y_0 * P(0,0) + x_1y_0 * P(1,0) +x_0y_1 * P(0,1) + x_1y_1 * P(1,1)

E(xy) = 0*0 * 0.63 + 1*0 * 0.18 +0*1 * 0.09 + 1*1 * 0.1

E(xy) = 0+0+0 + 0.1

E(xy) = 0.1

So:

COV(x,y) = E(xy) - E(x) * E(y)

Cov(x,y) = 0.1 - 0.28 * 0.19

Cov(x,y) = 0.1 - 0.0532

Cov(x,y) = 0.0468

The coefficient of correlation is then calculated as:

r = \frac{Cov(x,y)}{\sqrt{Var(x) * Var(y)}}

r = \frac{0.0468}{\sqrt{0.2016 * 0.1539}}

r = \frac{0.0468}{\sqrt{0.03102624}}

r = \frac{0.0468}{0.17614266944}

r = 0.26569371378

r \approx 0.2657 --- approximated

Question 14 (1 point)
labwork [276]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't think it really does grow by a constant rate. As he puts money in, the amount he puts in becomes less significant to the total.

Suppose he starts at 100 dollars.

After week one, he puts in 100 + 15 = 115 dollars.

The 15 dollars represents an increase of  15/100

After the second week, he puts in another 15 dollars. He has 115 in there already.

(15/115) * 100% = 13.04%

After the third week, he puts in another 15 dollars. (15/130 ) * 100% = 11.53

And so one

A clock chimes 4 times each hour. whixh expression can be used to find the number of times the clock chimes in a week
solong [7]

There are 24 hours in a day, so if it chimes twice in an hour it will chime 24*2 or 48 times a day. There are 7 days in a week, so it will chime 48*7 or 336 times.
