Question
How were the correct answers of 0.0556 and 0.7363 attained?

Transcribed Image Text:An assembly line has 17 machines and the number of machines X which fails to work is modeled by the binomial distribution with
parameter p > 0:
P(X= k) =
· (77) ₁¹(¹.
17-k
k(1-p)* ", k = 0, 1, ..., 17.
However, the parameter p can not be estimated exactly and turns out to be from a random variable Y which has a uniform distribution on
the interval (0, 1).
1. Find the unconditioned PMF px of X and evaluate P(X = 12). Hint:
(px (12), fy|x (0.49 | 12)) = 0.0556,0.7363

(n+1)
2. Given X = k, find the conditional PDF fyx (yk) and evaluate fyx (0.49 | 12)).
