5.1 contracts for two construction jobs are randomly assigned to one or more of three firms, a, b, and c. let y1 denote the number of contracts assigned to firm a and y2 the number of contracts assigned to firm b. recall that each firm can receive 0, 1, or 2 contracts. a find the joint wackerly, dennis; mendenhall, william; sheaffer, richard l.. mathematical statistics with applications (p. 232). cengage textbook. kindle edition.

Respuesta :

The solutions are;

The joint probability of y1 and y2 is  [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\1\\2\end{array}\right][/tex][tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1/9&2/9&1/9\\2/9&2/9&0\\1/9&0&0\end{array}\right][/tex] and F(1,0) = 1/3.

Given data;

Let y1 signify the number of contracts awarded to firm a and y2 the number of contracts assigned to firm b. Recall that each firm can receive 0, 1, or 2 contracts. Contracts for two construction tasks are randomly assigned to one or more of three firms, a, b, and c.

To find,

(a) The joint probability function for  y₁ and y₂

Let y₁ denote the number of contracts assigned to firm A,

y₂ the number of contracts assigned to firm B

      y₁

      [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&1&2\\\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

        y₂

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\1\\2\end{array}\right][/tex][tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1/9&2/9&1/9\\2/9&2/9&0\\1/9&0&0\end{array}\right][/tex]

(b) Find F(1,0)

F(1,0) =  p(y₁ ≤ 1, y₂ ≤ 0)

         = p(0,0) + p(1,0)

         = 1/9 + 2/9

         = 1/3.
