Example 1: Classify the following random variables as discrete or continuous and specify the domain/support of each random variable.
V = number of unbroken eggs in a randomly selected carton (dozen)
W = length of time between accidents at a factory
Y = whether or not you pass this class
Z = number of aircraft arriving tomorrow at STL.
Homework Answers
V - discrete random variable
Domain : Carton of unbroken eggs i.e. (0,1,2,...)
W - Continuous random variable
Domain : time interval between accidents, length of interval may vary.
Y - discrete random variable
Domain : Class i.e. (pass, fail)
Z - discrete random variable
Domain : aircraft arriving tomorrow at STL
i.e. (0,1,2,...)

Problem 1 A Poisson process is a continuous-time discrete-valued random process, X(t), that counts the number of events (think of incoming phone calls, customers entering a bank, car accidents, etc.) that occur up to and including time t where the occurrence times of these events satisfy the following three conditions Events only occur after time 0, i.e., X(t)0 for t0 If N (1, 2], where 0< t t2, denotes the number of events that occur in the time interval (t1,...
