Question

The following data have been collected on the number of times that owner-occupied and renter-occupied units had a water supply stoppage lasting or more hours over a -month period.

  Number of Units (1,000s)
Number of Times Owner Occupied Renter Occupied
0 548   23  
1 5,012   541  
2 6,110   3,734  
3 2,544   8,660  
4 times or more 557   3,784  

 

Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

a. Define a random variable  number of times that owner-occupied units had a water supply stoppage lasting  or more hours in the past  months and develop a probability distribution for the random variable. (Let  represent  or more times.)

x f(x)

Total  

 

b. Compute the expected value and variance for x.

E(x)  
Var(x)  

 

c. Define a random variable  number of times that renter-occupied units had a water supply stoppage lasting  or more hours in the past  months and develop a probability distribution for the random variable. (Let  represent  or more times.)

y f(y)
