A gas station operates two pumps, each of which can pump up to 10,000 gallons of gas in a month. The total amount of gas pumped at the station in a month is a random variable Y (measured in 10,000 gallons) with a
- a Graph f(y).
- b Find F(y) and graph it.
- c Find the probability that the station will pump between 8000 and 12,000 gallons in a particular month.
- d Given that the station pumped more than 10,000 gallons in a particular month, find the probability that the station pumped more than 15,000 gallons during the month.

- Answer part a of the question below. Show all work. When diagnosing a disease (genetically) in a sample of patients.we let X ∈ {0, 1} be a random variable that is binary where X = 1 reflects disease presense, and X = 0 reflects absense of the disease. We are conducting a blood test that returns some continuous marker. A continuous variable expressing this marker is −∞ < Y < ∞. We then use the following hierarchical model: X ∼ Ber(p)Y | X ∼ N(µ0(1 − X) + µ1X , σ2) a. Suppose p = .5. Find an expression for P(X = 1 | y) only in terms of fY|X(y | X = 1) and fY|X(y | X = 0), where fY |X represents the conditional normal density given above evaluated at some X = x.arrow_forwardAnswer part a of the question below.

We then use the following hierarchical model: X ∼ Ber(p)Y | X ∼ N(µ0(1 − X) + µ1X , σ2) a. For an event with probability p, the odds of the event is defined as p/1−p. With a higher odds, an event is more likely. With the odds of 1 indicates the event is as likely to occur as not likely. i.e. we are maximally uncertain about the status of the diseae.
