A bin of 5 transistors is known to contain 2 that are defective. The transistors are to be tested, one at a time, until the defe

ctive ones are identified. Denote by N1 the number of tests made until the first defective is identified and by N2 the number of additional tests until the second defective is identified. Find the joint probability mass func- tion of N1 and N2.

Answer:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b)= \frac{1}{5-a C 1} * \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2} = \frac{1}{5C2}=\frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

For the random variable N_1 we define the possible values for this variable on this case [1,2,3,4,5] . We know that we have 2 defective transistors so then we have 5C2 (where C means combinatory) ways to select or permute the transistors in order to detect the first defective:

5C2 = \frac{5!}{2! (5-2)!}= \frac{5*4*3!}{2! 3!}= \frac{5*4}{2*1}=10

We want the first detective transistor on the ath place, so then the first a-1 places are non defective transistors, so then we can define the probability for the random variable N_1 like this:

P(N_1 = a) = \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2}

For the distribution of N_2 we need to take in count that we are finding a conditional distribution. N_2 given N_1 =a, for this case we see that N_2 \in [1,2,...,5-a], so then exist 5-a C 1 ways to reorder the remaining transistors. And if we want b additional steps to obtain a second defective transistor we have the following probability defined:

P(N_2 =b | N_1 = a) = \frac{1}{5-a C 1}

And if we want to find the joint probability we just need to do this:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b) = P(N_2 = b | N_1 = a) P(N_1 =a)

And if we multiply the probabilities founded we got:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b)= \frac{1}{5-a C 1} * \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2} = \frac{1}{5C2}=\frac{1}{10}

Find a set of scalar parametric equations for the line formed by the two intersecting planes. 3x+3y+2z+2=0 2x−3y+2z−2=0
vivado [14]

The normal vectors to the two planes are (3, 3, 2) and (2, -3, 2). The cross product of these will be the direction vector of the line of intersection, (12, -2, -15).

Using x=0, we can find a point on this line by solving the simultaneous equations that remain:

... 3y +2z = -2

... -3y +2z = 2

Adding these, we get

... 4z = 0

... z = 0

so the point we're looking for is (x, y, z) = (0, -2/3, 0). This gives rise to the parametric equations ...

  • x = 12t
  • y = -2/3 -2t
  • z = -15t

By letting t=2/3, we can find a point on the line that has integer coefficients. That will be (x, y, z) = (8, -2, -10).

Then our parametric equations can be written as

  • x = 8 +12t
  • y = -2 -2t
  • z = -10 -15t
