Let X1 denote the number of customers in line at the express checkout at a particular time of day, and let X2 denote the number of customers in line at the superexpress checkout at the same time. Suppose the joint pmf of X1 and X2 is as given in the accompanying table.

Of the vehicles presumed stolen by professionals, 25% were recovered within 48 hours (R<48), 23% were recovered after 48 hours (R>48), and 52% were never recovered (N). Of the vehicles presumed stolen by amateurs, 33% were recovered within 48 hours, 63% were recovered after 48 hours, and 4% were never recovered.

When Y is jointly independent of X and Z, show that X and Y are conditionally independent, given Z. b.

How many experimental runs are there that involve useof the lowest temperature and two lowest pressures?c.

For the purposes of the next two questions, assume that the Wicked Twister, which was permanently closed in September 2021, has since relocated and re-opened at a different venue in California. Suppose that a waiting line at the Dipping Star at Six Flags follows M/M/1 queue, with unlimited arrivals, and FIFO. Assume that on a busy holiday, visitors to the Dipping Star purchase tickets in person every five minutes on average.

- Find the SPE of the variant of the two-period sequential bargaining game in which player i's payoff when she accepts the proposal (y1; y2) in period 2 is yi - ci, where 0 < ci < 1 (rather than iyi), and her payoff to any terminal history that ends in rejection is -ci (rather than 0), for i = 1; 2. Note that payoffs can be negative, but a proposal must still be a pair of non-negative numbers.arrow_forwardAs a generalization of Example 5.3(figure), consider a test of n circuits such that each circuit is acceptable with probability p, independent of the outcome of any other test.
