A service station has both self-service and full-service islands. On each island, there is a single regular unleaded pump with two hoses. Let X denote the number of hoses being used on the self-service island at a particular time, and let Y denote the number of hoses on the full-service island in use at that time. The joint pmf of X and Y appears in the accompanying tabulation. Y
p(x, y) 0 1 2
x 0 0.10 0.04 0.02
1 0.08 0.20 0.06
2 0.06 0.14 0.30

a. What is P(X = 1 and Y = 1)?
b. Compute P(X ≤ 1 and Y ≤ 1).
c. Give a word description of the event {X ≠ 0 and Y ≠ 0}, and compute the probability of this event.
d. Compute the marginal pmf of X and of Y. Using pX(x), what is P(X ≤ 1)?
e. Are X and Y independent rv’s? Explain.

a. 0.2

b. 0.42

c. 0.7

d. the solution is in the explanation

e. x and y are not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

a. from the joint probability mass function table,

p(x=1) and p(Y= 1)

= p(1,1) = 0.2

b. prob(0,0)+prob(0,1)+prob(1,0)+prob(1,1)

= 0.10 + 0.04 + 0.08 + 0.20

= 0.42

P(X ≤ 1 and Y ≤ 1) = 0.42

c. prob {X ≠ 0 and Y ≠ 0}

= prob(1,1) + prob(1,2) + prob(2,1) + prob(2,2)

= 0.20 + 0.06 + 0.14 + 0.30

= 0.7

d. we have to calculate the marginal pmf of x and y here.

we have the x values as 0,1,2

prob(x=0) = 0.1 + 0.04 + 0.02

= 0.16

prob(x=1) = 0.08 + 0.2 + 0.06

= 0.34

prob(x=2) = 0.06+0.14+0.3

= 0.50

we have y values as 0,1,2

prob(y=0) = .1+.08+.06

= 0.24

prob(y=1) = .04+.2+.14

= 0.38

prob(y = 2) = 0.02+0.06+0.3

= 0.38

P(X ≤ 1) = prob(x=0)+prob(x=1)

= 0.34+0.16

= 0.50

e. from the joint table we have this,

prob(1,1) = 0.2

prob(x=1) = 0.34

prob(y=1) = 0.38

then prob(x=1)*prob(y=1)

= 0.34*0.38

= 0.1292

therefore prob(1,1) is not equal to prob(x=1)*prob(y=1)

0.2≠0.1292

x and y are not independent

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
