TopicDiscrete Random Variables
TypeExpectation and variance from distribution

  1. The discrete random variable \(X\) has probability distribution
\(x\)- 2- 1013
\(\mathrm { P } ( X = x )\)0.25\(a\)\(b\)\(a\)0.30
where \(a\) and \(b\) are probabilities.
  1. Find \(\mathrm { E } ( X )\) Given that \(\operatorname { Var } ( X ) = 3.9\)
  2. find the value of \(a\) and the value of \(b\) The independent random variables \(X _ { 1 }\) and \(X _ { 2 }\) each have the same distribution as \(X\)
  3. Find \(\mathrm { P } \left( X _ { 1 } + X _ { 2 } > 3 \right)\)
