A small college has only 4 students and offers only 3 majors: Art, English, and Physics. Suppose that the 4 students are assigned to these 3 majors at random with probabilities P[Art] = 1/4, P[English] = 1/2, P[Math] = 1/4. Let A, E, and M denote the numbers of students assigned to Art, English, and Math, respectively (i) What is the probability distribution of A? E? M? State the expected values and variances of each. (ii) What is the joint...

A class has 10 mathematics majors, 6 computer science majors, and 4 statistics majors. Two of these students are randomly selected to make a presentation. Let X be the number of mathematics majors and let Y be the number of computer science majors chosen. (a) Determine the joint probability mass function p ( x , y ). This generalizes the hypergeometric distribution studied in Sect. 2.6 . Give the joint probability table showing all nine values, of which three should...

In a secondary school, there are 400 male students and 600 female students. 50% of the male students and 55% of the female students are in senior secondary curriculum, the others are in junior secondary curriculum. The school had appointed 8% of senior male students and 10% of senior female students to be the student leaders. No junior secondary student can be student leader. (a) If a student is selected at random in the school, find the probability that (i)...
