XP (X) 21.5 X: A. Find The Mean and Variance of The Following Probability Distribution and Hence Find Its

This document contains Muhammad Hassan Akbar's assignment on probability distributions. It includes two questions: 1. The first question asks to find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of a given probability distribution. It also asks whether two random variables X and Y are independent based on their joint probability distribution. 2. The second question defines a random variable X with a given probability density function, and asks to find the constant c in the function, the expected value E(X), and the variance of X. Formulas for mean, variance, standard deviation, and independence of random variables are applied to calculate the values requested.

Assignment NO.2

Question 1: Marks: =10

a. Find the mean and variance of the following probability distribution and hence find its
standard deviation.

X P(X=x) XP(x) X2p(x)


-10 1/5 -2 20
-20 3/20 -3 60
30 1/2 15 450
75 1/10 7.5 562.5
80 1/20 4 320
∑ ∑X 2
P(x)=1412.1
XP(X)=21.5

Mean of probability distribution is:


∑XP(X))
= = ∑XP(X)
∑P(X)
−2−3+15+7.5+4
= 1

=21.5
Mean= E(X) = ∑ xp(x)

E(X)=21.5

Var(x) = ∑ X2 p(x)-[ ∑ XP(x)]2


=1412.5-(21.5)2
=1412.5-462.25
=950.25

S.D= √∑X2P(X)-[∑X2P(X)]2
Now putting the value into formula we get
S.D= 30.83
b. The joint p.d. of two discrete random variables X and y is given by
𝑥𝑦 2
f(x,y) = 30 for x= 1,2,3 and y = 1,2.
Are X and Y independent?

Solution:-
X Y 1 2 g(x)
1 1/30 4/30 3/30
2 2/30 8/30 10/30
3 3/30 12/30 15/30
h(x) 6/30 24/30 1
The marginal p.d for X

𝑔(𝑥) = ∑ 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)
𝑦

𝑥𝑦2 𝑥(1)2 𝑥(2)2 𝑥


= ∑1𝑦=2 = + =6 for x=123
30 30 30

And the marginal p.d for Y

ℎ(𝑦) = ∑ 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)
𝑦

𝑥𝑦2 (1𝑦)2 (2𝑦)2 (3𝑦)2 𝑦2


∑ = + + =
30 30 30 30 5
𝑥𝑦2 𝑥 𝑦2
Clearly = ∗ for X=1,2,3 and y=1,2
30 6 5

i.e f(x,y)= g(x).h(y)


Hence X and Y are independent

Question 2: Marks: =10

Let x be a random variable with PDF given by

2
f(x) = {𝑐𝑥 0<x< 1
0 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑤𝑠𝑖𝑒
a. Find the constant c.
b. Find E(x) and Var (x).

Solution:-
(a)
First we find c
After putting the values into formula we get
C=3
This pdf is f(x) =3x2, 0<x<1

Var(x)= E(x2)-[E(x)]2

Var(x)=3/5-9/16=0.0375 Ans
