[2 points] If 10 persons have a lunch together, how many

different ways can three order chicken, four order steak and
three orders lobster?
(10 choose 3)*(7 choose 4)*(3 choose 3)=(10! *7!)/(3!*7!4!
3!)=10!/3!4!3!

3. [3 points] In a given city, 4 percent of all licensed drivers will be

involved in at least one car accident in any given year.
(1) Find the probability that only five among 10 licensed drivers
randomly chosen in this city will be involved in at least one
accident in any given year.
(2) Find the mean and the variance of the number of all licensed
drivers that will be involved in at least one car accident in the
year among 10 licensed drivers randomly chosen in this city.

4. The number N of injury claims per month is modeled by a

distribution with

where n0. Determine the probability of at least one claim during a

particular month, given that there have been at most four claims
during that month.

5. X and Y are independent random variables with common moment

generating function

Let W = X + Y and Z = Y - X.
(1). Determine the joint distribution of (W,Z).
(2). Are W and Z are independent?

6. If the joint probability density function of X and Y is given by

 (
1) find the probability P(X > 2Y ).
(2) find E(X2Y ).

7. If the continuous random variable X has the probability density

(1) find the moment generating function of X.

(2) find the mean of X.
8. If the joint probability distribution of X and Y is given by

(1) find the probability distribution of U = X + Y ;

(2) find the conditional probability distribution of X given U = 4.

9. An actuary has discovered that policyholders are three times as

likely to file two claims as to file four claims. If the number of
 claims filed has a Poisson distribution, what is the variance of the
number of claims filed?

10. Let X and Y denote the values of two stocks at the end of a five-
year period. X is uniformly distributed on the interval (0, 12) . Given
X = x, Y is uniformly distributed on the interval (0, x). Determine
Cov(X,Y ) according to this model.
