Probability and Statistics In-Class Quiz 2 - Prof. Rhonda R. Decook, Quizzes of Probability and Statistics

A set of in-class quiz questions for a probability and statistics course. The quiz consists of two problems. The first problem deals with the probability of servicing all cordless phones among the first ten phones in a group of fifteen telephones. The second problem involves calculating the expected value and variance of a random variable y, which represents the number of moving violations for an individual during the last 3 years, based on the given probability mass function.

  1. An individual who has automobile insurance with a certain company is randomly se- lected. Let Y be the number of moving violations for which the individual was cited during the last 3 years. The PMF of Y is

y 0 1 2 3 f(y) 0.60 0.25 0.10 0.

(a) Compute E(Y ).

(b) Compute V (Y ) {i.e. The variance of Y }

(c) If an individual with Y violations incurs an extra charge of 100Y 2 , calculate the expected amount of an extra charge.
