Two pencils are selected at random from a box that contains 3 blue, 2 red, and 3 green pencils. Let X be the number of blue pencils (rows) and Y be the number of red pencils (columns) selected. The joint PMF is:
(a) Find the conditional distribution of the number of blue pencils given the number of red pencils.
(b) Find the conditional mean of the number of blue pencils given the number of red pencils is y.
(c) Find the conditional variance of the number of blue pencils given the number of red pencils is y.
SOLUTION:
Given that
Two pencils are selected at random from a box that contains 3 blue, 2 red, and...

5. Three boxes are numbered 1, 2 and 3. For k 1, 2, 3, box k contains k blue marbles and 5 - k red marbles. In a two-step experiment, a box is selected and 2 marbles are drawn from it without replacement. If the probability of selecting box k is proportional to k, then the probability that two marbles drawn have different colours is 6. Two balls are.dropped in such a way that each ball is equally likely to...

There are two boxes with red and blue balls in them. Box I has 1 red and 4 blue balls; Box II has 3 red and 2 blue balls. There is a fair coin with Box I written on one side and Box II written on the other. You toss the coin and then draw 2 balls without replacement out of the box that comes up on the face of the coin. a. Let Y be the number of red...

A ball is taken at random from an urn containing 2 red balls and 3 blue balls. If the ball is red a fair coin is tossed three times. If the ball is blue non-fair coin is tossed three times; for this second coin the probability of heads is .6. In either case we count the number of heads in the three tosses and call that number X. (a) Compute the conditional probability that X-2 if it is known that...
