A motorist makes three driving errors, each independently resulting in an accident with probability 0.25. Each accident results in a loss that is exponentially distributed with mean 0.80. Losses are mutually independent and independent of the number of accidents. The motorist's insurer reimburses 70% of each loss due to an accident. Calculate the variance of the total unreimbursed loss the motorist experiences due to accidents resulting from these driving errors

Suppose you own three computers, each of which independently lasts for an exponentially distributed time with a mean of 4 years. Let X(t) be the number of these computers that have broken down after t years. (a) What is the probability that all three computers are still working after six months? (b) On average, how long will it take before there is only one working computer left?

An office has a stock of identical printed forms which are used independently. On any working day, at most one of the forms is used, and the probability that one form is used is 1/3 . There are 250 working days in the year. (i) Using a suitable approximation, calculate the number of forms that must be in stock at the beginning of the year if there is to be a 95% probability that they will not all be used...

Consider a population in which there are no deaths and each individual independently gives birth at rate 1. Independently of the other events, immigrants arrive in the population at times of a Poisson process with rate 2. Let X(t) denote the number of individuals in the population at time t. The pure birth process (X(t),t ≥ 0) is called a Yule process with immigration. (a) Give the birth rates for the process (X(t),t ≥ 0). (b) Find P(X(2) = 1|X(0)...
