Need to see steps to understand
The number of home runs scored by a certain team in one baseball game is a random variable with the distribution (pmf), f(x) = P[X = x] What is the probability of scoring at least 1 home run in a game? Given that the team scores at least one home run in a game, what is the probability that it scores two? Find the mean number of home runs per game Find the standard deviation of home runs per gameSolution
a)
P(at least 1) = P(1) + P(2) = 0.2 + 0.1 = 0.3 [ANSWER]
****************
b)
P(2|at least 1) = P(2)/P(at least 1) = 0.1/0.3 = 0.33333333333 [ANSWER]
******************
c)
a)
P(at least 1) = P(1) + P(2) = 0.2 + 0.1 = 0.3 [ANSWER]
****************
b)
P(2|at least 1) = P(2)/P(at least 1) = 0.1/0.3 = 0.33333333333 [ANSWER]
********************
c)
Thus,
E(x) = Expected value = mean = 0.4 [ANSWER]
d)
Var(x) = E(x^2) - E(x)^2 = 0.44
s(x) = sqrt [Var(x)] = 0.663324958 [ANSWER]
| x | P(x) | x P(x) | x^2 P(x) |
| 0 | 0.7 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0.2 | 0.2 | 0.2 |
| 2 | 0.1 | 0.2 | 0.4 |
