Suppose that the probability mass function for a discrete random variable X is given by p(x) = c x, x = 1, 2, ... , 6. Find the value of the cdf F(x) for 3 ≤ x < 4.
2. For a discrete random variable X, with CDF F(X), it is possible to show that P(a < X S b)-F(b) - F(a), for a 3 b. This is a useful fact for finding the probabil- ity that a random variable falls within a certain range. In particular, let X be a random variable with pmf p( 2 tor c-1,2 a. Find the CDF of X b. Find P(X X 5). c. Find P(X> 4). 3. Let X be a...

[Q#2] (7pts) Suppose a discrete random variable Y has a Geometric probability distribution with probability of success p (>0). Its p.d.f. p(y) is defined as P(Y = y) = p(y) = p (1-p)y-1 for y = 1,2,3, ... Verify that the sum of probabilities when the values of random variable Y are even integers only is 1-p. That is to find p(2) + p(4) +p(6) +.. 2 – p
Suppose that a discrete, random variable Y(with three possible outcomes) has the following distribution: prob(Y=1)=q, prob(Y=2)=p, and prob(Y=3)=1-p-q. A random variable of size 109 is drawn from this distribution and the random variables are denoted Y1, Y2,....Y109. (A) Derive the likelihood function for the parameters p and q (B) Derive the formulas for MLE of p and q
