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
