ANSWER:
A car dealer sells X cars each day and always tries to sell an extended warranty on each of these cars. (In our opinion, most of these warranties are not good deals.) Let Y be the number of extended warranties sold; then Y ≤ X. The joint pmf of X and Y is given by
(a) Find the value of c.
(b) Sketch the support of X and Y.
(c) Record the marginal pmfs fX(x) and fY(y) in the “margins.”
(d) Are X and Y independent?
(e) Compute μX and σ2X.
(f) Compute μY and σ2Y
(g) Compute Cov(X,Y).
(h) Determine ρ, the correlation coefficient.
(i) Find the best-fitting line and draw it on your figure.
(a) Recall that sinceis a p.m.f., it must be true that
That is
We will use that equation to find the value of c.
Rewrite the previous equation
,
Recall that
Using the equations from the previous parts, we get
Since, we get.
(b) The support of X and Y is shown below.
(c) The marginal p.m.f. is given by following equations
Using the equation from the previous part, we get
The marginal p.m.f. is given by the following equations
Using the equation from the previous part, we get
(d) Recall that X and Y are independent if for all values of random variables X and Y it is true that
.
Since
Therefore X and Y are dependant.
(e) The mean of X is given by
The variance of X is given by
(f) The mean of Y is given by
The variance of Y is given by
(g) The covariance of X and Y is given by
(h) The correlation coefficient is given by
(i) The line of the best fit is given by the equation
Using the values found in the previous part, we get
The line of the best fit is shown below

Exercise 5(SOA). A car dealership sells 0,1, or 2 cars on any day. When selling a car, the dealer also tries to persuade the customer to buy an extended warranty for the car. Let X denote the number of luxury cars sold in any given day and let y denote the number of extended warranties sold. We have: 1 12 P(X = 0, = 0) = 5; P(X = 1, Y = 0) = 12, P(X = 2, Y =...
