[Q1] The probability distribution of the discrete random variable X is:
f(X) = k23-x , for x = 4,5, 6,7
(a) Find:
• the value of the constant k.
• The mean E(X).
• The variance Var(X).
(b) Sketch F(X).
Exponential Distribution has a memoryless property. Intuitively, it means that the probability of customer service answering you call (assuming waiting time is exponential) in the next 10 mins is the same, no matter if you have waited an hour on the line or just picked up the phone. Formally, if X ∼ exponential(λ), f(x) = λ exp(-λx), and t and s are two positive numbers, use the definition of conditional probability to show that P(X > t + s | X > t) = P(X > s).
Hint: Find the cdf of X first, and note that P(X > t + s Ç X > t) = P(X > t + s)
