QUESTION:

An engineering statistics class has 40 students; 60% are electrical engineering majors, 10% are industrial engineering majors, and 30% are mechanical engineering majors. A sample of four students is selected randomly without replacement for a project team. Let X and Y denote the number of industrial engineering and mechanical engineering majors, respectively. Determine the following:

(a) \(f_{x y}(x, y)\)                 (b) \(f_{x}(x)\)

(c) \(E(X)\)                         (d) \(f_{y \mid 3}(y)\)

(e) \(E(Y \mid X=3)\)                 (f) \(V(Y \mid X=3)\)

(g) Are X and Y independent?

ANSWER:

Solution:

Step 1 of 8:

             

     Let us denote X and Y are the number of industrial engineering and mechanical engineering majors.

         Let N = Population size = 40

               n = number of draws = 4

                Number of observed success

                     = 10%

                     = 4

                Number of observed success

                     = 30%

                     = 12
