The document discusses probability calculations related to response times and joint distributions of random variables. It includes specific calculations for the probabilities that response times exceed 5 and 10 seconds, as well as determining a joint probability distribution function for discrete random variables X and Y. Additionally, it provides a method to find probabilities associated with the joint distribution of X and Y.

P( x  5) = 1 − P( x  5)
1 5 − x /3
= 1 −  e dx

= 1 − (1 − e −5/3 ) = 0.1889
a) What is the probability that response time exceeds 10 seconds?
Let’s find the probability that response time exceeds 10 seconds.
P( x  10) = 1 − P( x  10)

= 1 − (1 − e −10/3 ) = 0.0357
Part V: Joint Distributions

1. Determine the values of c so that the following function represents joint probability
distribution of the random variables X and Y:
f(x, y) = c|x − y|, for x = −2, 0, 2; y = −2, 3.
f(x, y) = c|x − y|, for x = −2, 0, 2; y = −2, 3.

 f ( x, y) = 1
x y
So,
1 =  f ( x, y ) =  c | x − y |= c  | x − y |
x y x y x y

= c(| (−2) − (−2) | + | 0 − (−2) | + | 2 − (−2) | + | (−2) − 3| + | 0 − 3| + | 2 − 3|)


= c(0 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 3 + 1) = 15c

c=

Hence, the joint probability distribution of discrete random variables X and Y is:
1
f(x, y) = |x − y|, for x = −2, 0, 2; y = −2, 3.

2. If the joint probability distribution of X and Y is given by


x+ y
f ( x, y ) = , for x = 0,1,2,3; y = 0,1,2, , Find

a) P(X ≤ 2, Y = 1)
We need to determine the probability P( X  2,Y = 1)
P( X  2,Y = 1) = P( X = 0,Y = 1) + P( X = 1,Y = 1) + P( X = 2,Y = 1)
= f (0,1) + f (1,1) + f (2,1)
