Question 1 [30 marks]

Suppose that in an electric display sign are three light bulbs in the first row and four light
bulbs in the second row. Let X denote the number of bulbs in the first row that will be
burned out at specific time t, and Y denote the number of bulbs in the second row that will
be burned out at same time t. Suppose that the joint probability of X and Y is specified in
the following table:

Y
X 0 1 2 3 4
0 0.08 0.07 0.06 0.01 0.01
1 0.06 0.1 0.12 0.05 0.02
2 0.05 0.06 0.09 0.04 0.03
3 0.02 0.03 0.03 0.03 0.04

1.1. Find the marginal probability mass functions for X and Y [5 ]

1.2. Find the expected value of XY [3 ]
1.3. Are X and Y independent? [5]

Question 2 [10 marks]

Suppose that X and Y have a continuous joint distribution for which the joint probability density
function is as follows:

 x + y for 0  x  1 and 0  y  1
f ( x, y ) = 
 0 otherwise

2.1. Find E ( X ) [4]

2.2. Find Var ( X ) [6]

Question 3[7marks]

University and college students average 7.2 hours of sleep per night, with a standard
deviation of 40 minutes. If the amount of sleep is normally distributed,
3.1. What proportion of university and college students sleep for more than 8 hours?
[3]
3.2. Find the amount of sleep that is exceeded by only 25% of students. [4]
