1.
Fill in the blanks

Let X be a binary-valued random variable (i.e., only takes the value 0 or the value 1) such that P(X = 0) = P(X = 1) =
0.5.

Suppose that Y is another binary-valued random variable such that P(Y = 1 | X = 0) = 1, and P(Y = 1 | X = 1) = 0.5.

Calculate Var(Y). Your answer is 1. 0.1875 (provide the answer to 4 decimal places)

Enter the correct answer below.

Response Rationale
Please provide a rationale for your answer.

No rationale provided.
2.
Fill in the blanks

The number of NUS shuttle buses arriving at a bus stop in over any 15-minute interval is assumed to be a Poisson
random variable with a mean of 1. Arrivals in any non-overlapping intervals are further assumed to be independent. A
student who arrives at the bus stop just misses a bus. What is the probability that she will have to wait for at least 30
minutes for the next bus to arrive?

Your answer is 1. 0.135 (Please round down to 3 decimal places)

Enter the correct answer below.

Response Rationale
Please provide a rationale for your answer.

No rationale provided.

3.
Fill in the blanks

Each of the members of a 7-judge panel independently makes a correct decision with probability 0.7. If the
panel’s decision is made by majority rule, what is the probability that the panel makes the correct decision
given that 4 of the judges agreed?

Your answer is 1. 0.7 OR [0.695, 0.705

Enter the correct answer below.

Response Rationale
Please provide a rationale for your answer.

No rationale provided.

Fill in the blanks

Let X be a Binomial random variable with parameters n = 10, and p = 0.3.

Let Y be a Poisson random variable with parameter L = 3.

Suppose X and Y are independent, and let Z = 2X + 3Y.

Find E(Z) and Var(Z), the mean and variance of Z.

E(Z) is 1. 15

Var(Z) is 2. 35.4
