Answer:
a) The joint probability distribution
P(0,0) = 0.36, P(1,0) = 0.24, P(2,0) = 0, P(0,1) = 0, P(1,1) = 0.24, P(2,1)= 0.16
b) P( W = 0 ) = 0.36, P(W = 1 ) = 0.48, P(W = 2 ) = 0.16
c) P ( z = 0 ) = 0.6
P ( z = 1 ) = 0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of head on first toss = Z
Total Number of heads on 2 tosses = W
% of head occurring = 40%
% of tail occurring = 60%
P ( head ) = 2/5 , P( tail ) = 3/5
<u>a) Determine the joint probability distribution of W and Z </u>
P( W =0 |Z = 0 ) = 0.6 P( W = 0 | Z = 1 ) = 0
P( W = 1 | Z = 0 ) = 0.4 P( W = 1 | Z = 1 ) = 0.6
P( W = 1 | Z = 0 ) = 0 P( W = 2 | Z = 1 ) = 0.4
The joint probability distribution
P(0,0) = 0.36, P(1,0) = 0.24, P(2,0) = 0, P(0,1) = 0, P(1,1) = 0.24, P(2,1)= 0.16
<u>B) Marginal distribution of W</u>
P( W = 0 ) = 0.36, P(W = 1 ) = 0.48, P(W = 2 ) = 0.16
<u>C) Marginal distribution of Z ( pmf of Z )</u>
P ( z = 0 ) = 0.6
P ( z = 1 ) = 0.4
