E(Y) = 1(.04+.14+.23+.07) + 2(.07+.17+.23+.05) = whatever the answer is

alternatively draw up the tables that you learnt in the workshops, then you can calculate your average and variance with ease...



Does anyone know how to do:
Q 13 and 19C??

i got E(X,Y)=3.89,and then i used E(x,y)-E(x)*E(y), but cant get it ,i dont know where is the problem..
btw, q19(C) is: 0.18/(0.18+0.56)

13:
Sumx=56 SumXsq=360
so mean = 56/n = 56/10 = 5.6
Variance = E(Xsq)-[E(X)]sqwaaared. = 360/10 - 5.6sq
Don't forget to square root it afterwards to get standard deviation.

19c"
P(Wholesale|Deluxe) = P(Wholesale and deluxe)/P(Deluxe)

i just did that question and got the right answer...

3.89 - (2.59)(1.52) = -0.0468

ok you need to draw up a new table.

your first column is the probabilities (1 through 4)

next you'll see your conditional distribution values of X are .11, .31, .46 and .12
this will form your second column.

your third column x P(x) is simply the corresponding values multiplied together. Add these up and you get your average.

then your fourth column is simply the same as column 1 but square each value

your final column is going to be xsquard p (X) which is column 4 multiplied by column 2. to find your variance, you need to square the answer you got for your average and minus it from the answer for the sum of this column.

ok
stdev = 4.64
mean = 5.6
X(bar) +/- t(alpha/2,n-1) (s/rtN)
5.6 +/- 2.262 (4.64/3.16) = {2.281, 8.919}

hmm the answer differs to the answers. it seems correct though

isn't it 2.15.
36-31.36 = 4.64
sqrt = 2.15
haha... u made the same mistake as i did. You forgot the 'n' in you standard dev formula
